How Researchers Can Benefit from IQVIA Data

Through collaboration with the IQVIA Institute, researchers have access to a broad range of proprietary databases and tools to support independent research, discovery work, and requirement development for future funded studies.

Our goal is to partner with researchers who have professional recognition, exposure, and funding to sustain a steady stream of influential research. Through these valuable partnerships, we can continue to optimize the application of our assets and make a positive impact on public health, health policy, and healthcare delivery.

To this end, IQVIA information can be made available at pricing tailored to the academic research community for approved researchers conducting studies in health services.

Collaborating with the IQVIA Institute

Researchers interested in collaborating with the IQVIA Institute on specific research studies should direct questions to info@iqviainstitute.org.

In addition, we ask that the researcher provide a CV and any relevant, supplementary information. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated based on their likely impact on healthcare, innovativeness, timeliness, methodology, practicality, and investigator qualifications. If chosen for follow-up, the Institute will schedule a time to discuss the request and determine which assets and capabilities best suit the research design and objectives.

We may also make recommendations for altering the design, when appropriate, based on our many years of experience in supporting this kind of research. This sometimes involves an iterative process to optimize the use and application of the data and to ensure the optimal result for the researcher.

If requests require grant funding to cover costs, we may provide a letter of support to help facilitate the grant application process.

Please direct questions about proposals, available data, and the application process to: info@iqviainstitute.org.
