From January 2008 the UKCRN Portfolio Database has held records of all research ongoing in the UK that is eligible for the UKCRN Portfolio. For Scotland this comprises studies funded by eligible funders. NHS R&D offices and Scottish Clinical Research Networks are responsible for creating records on the system, however it is the responsibility of Chief Investigators to ensure that their study record is complete and accurate. R&D offices will be communicating with their researchers about this responsibility. CSO is working with UKCRN and the other UK Health Departments to ensure that the Portfolio and the Database meet all of our requirements.
The National Research Register (NRR) operated from 1997 to 2007 providing information on research taking place in NHS organisations. The NRR has been archived as a public resource and to support historical analysis. The archive is available and searchable via the National Institute for Health Research Portal http://portal.nihr.ac.uk. The NRR Archive has a search facility with similar style and functionality to the search system on the old NRR site. It will be possible to make amendments to this data for legal or accuracy reasons but no new records will be added to this archive.
