Background
• Introduced by the NIHR (2008) to strengthen the capacity for conducting clinical trials within the NHS and for delivery of the quality research projects required by the NIHR.
• Flexible use – limited rules: intended to provide additional stability and flexibility, allow units to recruit and retain key staff, and encourage an increase in high quality applications to NIHR programmes and funded trials.
• Expected result – increase in the volume of high quality research applications submitted to NIHR and funded trials supported.

• Funding awarded to units with a demonstrated track record in conducting publicly-funded pragmatic clinical trials.
• Funding is an ‘advance’ - partly offset against future NIHR trial awards and recovery by reduction in future support funding payments (research grants unaffected).
• Units assessed annually to check on activity and progress.
• Key criteria for success – supporting NIHR trials and offset reported.

Next Steps
• Contract Review for existing units - December 2012.
• Successful units to be awarded 5 year contracts (2013-2018)
• Implementation of Annual Funding & Contract Review process
• No upper limit on funding – activity and offset returned will be key factors.
• Consolidation arrangements on an ‘institution’ basis and desire for more collaboration.
