Supported Investigator Initiated Studies

Philip Morris International (PMI) supports investigator initiated studies (IIS), wherein we provide mainly financial support to qualified third-party investigators.

Through efforts like the IIS program, PMI has scientifically collaborated with researchers worldwide, resulting in peer-reviewed scientific publications. Learn more about the publications that have been produced by investigators supported by the IIS program.

We continue to accept applications to support aerosol chemistry, toxicology, systems biology, pre-clinical, and clinical studies, and more.

The tables below show the studies our IIS program has supported so far:

Research

PMI is committed to sharing results as the development and scientific assessment of smoke-free products advance.

PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use. This site is for use by scientists, the public health and regulatory communities, and other stakeholders with an interest in tobacco policy. The purpose of this site is not for advertising or marketing. It is not intended for use by consumers.

Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
