NHS Boards are obliged to ensure that patient care services associated with R&D are provided and funded efficiently. This obligation includes excess treatment costs incurred during paticipation in a research project. Consideration to grant a subvention is only given when the costs are considered to be disproportionately expensive. Applications will only be considered in relation to research funded by an eligible funder. The cost thresholds and application procedure are outlined in the following documents:
 |
ARCO (Attributing Research Costs of Non-Commercial Research in the NHS) |

Subvention Application Part A (revised Feb 2011) |
|
Subvention Application Part B (revised May 2010) |
Both Parts A and B must be completed and submitted along with copy of the study protocol and grant application
