Investigator-Sponsored Research Program Overview
Shockwave may provide financial and/or product support for independent research activity. Our global research program is open to all investigators qualified to conduct clinical or pre-clinical research.
Research proposals are evaluated on a regular basis, where the following factors are considered:
- Alignment with Shockwave’s mission
- Overlap with ongoing/planned research
- Scientific rigor and quality of proposal
- Likelihood of generating novel and meaningful information
- Appropriate size and scope of the study
- Fair market value
- Qualifications and capabilities of the investigator
- Compliance with regulatory requirements
- Any other criteria deemed appropriate
If funding is approved, a research agreement is negotiated between the research sponsor and Shockwave containing the final budget and research protocol. Investigators are expected to provide regular updates on study progress and to share their findings via conference presentations and in peer-reviewed journals.
To share a research proposal, please reach out to Shockwave Medical Affairs.

Transparency Sunshine Act Reporting: Some countries, including the United States, require medical device manufacturers to track and report transfers of value to healthcare professionals licensed in that country. In the United States, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act is a federal law that requires healthcare manufacturers to track and report payments and transfers of value to certain healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations. Congress passed the Sunshine Act in 2010 in the interest of providing greater transparency into interactions between the healthcare industry and healthcare providers. Shockwave Medical supports the goals of the Sunshine Act because we recognize that transparency inspires public trust and confidence.
