Review Criteria

The following factors are considered by the IIS Committee when determining whether a grant applicant is qualified to receive an IIS research grant:

  • Appropriate credentials, education and reputation (including valid medical license for Clinical IIS, lack of FDA debarment/disqualification and disciplinary action by a professional licensing body)
  • Demonstrated relevant experience, including publications in peer-reviewed journals and prior research
  • Clinical or research background, training and knowledge of disease or therapeutic area in which the research will be conducted
  • Ability and potential to successfully conduct the research for which the funds are requested (including staffing and site resources)
  • Ability to provide scientifically compelling and/or novel research to Eisai

Applications are evaluated based upon therapeutic area relevance and applicability, support of product or compound goals, scientifically compelling and innovative research that is congruent with the strategic focus for the product or compound in question, sound science, cost effectiveness and feasibility of proposal.
