Details of studies which meet specific eligibility criteria are recorded in a database, known as the the UKCRN 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 UKCRN Clinical Research Portfolio is a national data resource will is used to manage the allocation of NHS infrastructure funding and will support the performance management of UKCRN’s Clinical Research Networks.
Which studies are eligible for inclusion in the UKCRN 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 accrual data for my study?
Accrual data are part of the key performance indicators and are routinely collected for studies being undertaken in the Topic Specifc and Primary Care Research Networks; collection of accrual data is now required for studies which are part of the NIHR Comprehensive Clinical Research Network.
