You should discuss your study design and concept with a QuidelOrtho medical science liaison or medical affairs manager to ensure alignment with our areas of interest.  You can also submit your study idea online through the contact us form.

• Step 1: Submit IIS synopsis/concept or protocol and any relevant details regarding the type of QuidelOrtho support requested.
• Step 2: QuidelOrtho IIS committee reviews requests for financial, scientific, clinical, legal and regulatory considerations, then renders a decision based on a consensus from the voting members.
• Step 3: If study request is approved, an IIS agreement between the investigator/institution and QuidelOrtho will be generated.

To generate the IIS agreement, the investigator must provide:

• The final study protocol
• Ethical committee or Internal Review Board ("IRB”) approval of the study
• Informed consent form
• Principal investigator curriculum vitae

If the IIS request is approved, the study investigator is expected to:
