Funding Opportunities

Roche’s approach to funding opportunities

Partnering is a core feature of how Roche delivers impact in the communities where we live and work. We recognize that innovation is taking place all around us and we welcome opportunities to work together toward the same goal, better care for more patients faster.

As a healthcare company Roche recognizes the important role we play in helping to shape and improve our local healthcare system and supporting the full patient journey. With this commitment, Roche prefers to invest in programs and initiatives that have a direct impact on patient care and benefit research in areas of high unmet medical need.

Support can take many forms including medical and education grants, donations and sponsorships with a focus on Roche’s therapeutic areas of business. Roche is also interested in projects that support improvement to the healthcare and patient ecosystem as a whole; this includes an increased investment in personalized healthcare and real-world evidence.

Support for Clinical and Pre-clinical Activities

Roche further supports initiatives that involve clinical and pre-clinical activities that may or may not involve Roche’s therapeutic molecules. Requests for support of these activities are processed differently than our medical and education grants, sponsorships and donations as detailed above. Please select the program below to learn how to request support.

Pre-clinical research
Investigator initiated studies

Roche is invested in the advancement of scientific knowledge and answering important medical and scientific questions regarding Roche’s products and therapeutic areas of interest. Our investigator-initiated studies (IIS) support clinical interventional studies (phase I to IV) involving marketed Roche drugs or those still in development as well as non-interventional studies such as observational or real-world evidence. Learn how Roche’s IIS programs are improving patient care, and sparking new ideas for disease-related research aimed at creating improved treatment for patients.
