External and industry-sponsored research programme overviews


 

The Dexcom External Research Programme encourages investigators, organisations, and industry to utilise continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology as part of their study programmes and pursue original diabetes-related research. Typical categories of research that may be eligible for support include:  

  • Investigator-initiated studies (IIS) 
  • Studies sponsored by non-profit groups or other research consortiums (e.g., Artificial Pancreas groups) 
  • Industry-sponsored studies using CGM as a diagnostic or data collection tool (e.g., pharmaceutical research)

professional societies

Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS)

INCLUDING STUDIES SPONSORED BY NON-PROFIT GROUPS OR OTHER RESEARCH CONSORTIUMS

(e.g., Artificial Pancreas groups) 

Submission and Review Process 

Electronic submissions should be submitted through the Dexcom External Research web portal (SteepRock). Please allow approximately 8-10 weeks for Dexcom to review and contact you about your initial submission.
