NCRN is building a complete picture of the cancer clinical research which is currently taking place across the UK.
Details of studies which meet specific eligibility criteria are recorded in a database, known as the the NIHR CRN CC Clinical Research Portfolio, which comprises the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Portfolio in England, and the corresponding portfolios of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The NIHR CRN CC Clinical Research Portfolio is a national data resource which is used to manage the allocation of NHS infrastructure funding and will support the performance management of NIHR CRN CC's Clinical Research Networks.
From 1 June 2010 the NIHR Coordinated System for gaining NHS Permission (CSP) will be the sole entry route for non-commercial studies into the NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) Portfolio. Which studies are eligible for inclusion in the NIHR CRN CC Portfolio? In England, studies must meet the eligibility criteria set by the Department of Health in order to be included in the Portfolio. The devolved administrations are also developing specific eligibility criteria for their respective portfolios. Why and how do I submit recruitment data for my study? Recruitment data are part of the key performance indicators and are routinely collected for studies being undertaken in the Topic Specific and Primary Care Research Networks; collection of recruitment data is now required for studies which are part of the NIHR Comprehensive Clinical Research Network. Latest News News and information relating to the NIHR CRN CC Portfolio is available here. What are the benefits of studies being in the NIHR CRN CC Portfolio? Studies that are included in the NIHR CRN CC Portfolio will have access to infrastructure support and to NHS service support costs. How do I get my study in the NIHR CRN CC Portfolio? The NIHR CRN CC is currently working with funding bodies, Chief Investigators, Clinical Trials Units and Study Coordinators to ensure that all relevant studies are included in the Portfolio. An Initial Project Registration Proforma needs to be completed in order for a study to be considered for inclusion on the Portfolio.
