Welcome to Paratek’s Investigator Initiated Research (IIR) Portal

The purpose of Paratek’s IIR program is to advance and improve patient care through high-quality research that is initiated, implemented, conducted, and sponsored by external investigators. The aim of the IIR program is to support unsolicited and independently initiated and conducted studies that have the potential to enhance scientific and medical knowledge. IIRs are to be conducted independent of Paratek. The investigator or affiliated study sponsor is responsible for the study concept, design, operational execution, data handling, data analysis, interpretation, reporting, publication and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

This portal will enable you to submit your proposal for review, and if approved, to track the progress of your study from the start to end date.

All proposals and protocols are reviewed by a cross-functional Review Committee. This is a competitive funding program, and decisions are based on scientific merit, alignment with areas of interest and available funding.

Overview of Process for Submission and Review

All proposals and protocols are submitted to Paratek using the online portal, Steeprock. The Paratek IIR review process consists of 2 stages:

Stage 1 (concept proposal)

   - Brief Proposal, including study timeline & requested amount and formulation of drug product (if applicable)
   - CV of Principal Investigator
   - W-9 (US)/W-8 (ex-US) of Institution where the study will be conducted
   - Budget

If/when a concept proposal is approved, proceed to Stage 2. Note: Approval at Stage 1 does not guarantee funding; it only indicates sufficient interest in the proposed research project for consideration of a full protocol submission.

Stage 2 (full protocol)

   - Full Protocol, including study timeline & requested amount and formulation of drug product (if applicable)
   - Finalized Budget
   - Data Collection Form & Copy of Informed Consent (if applicable)
         - Only required for studies involving human subjects

Paratek’s IIR Review Committee meets every other month (refer to individual product tabs for meeting schedules and submission deadlines).

Funding decisions are made following review of a full protocol (Stage 2).
