• Research Costs are funded by the research funder e.g. the EME programme. • (NHS) Service Support Costs are funded through the R&D Levy. Currently, this is paid to NHS organisations in the form of transitional allocations and, in a very small number of cases, through ad hoc funding.

Details of the new funding streams can be found on the NIHR website. • Treatment Costs, including Excess Treatment Costs, are normally funded through commissioning arrangements for patient care and normal commissioning arrangements apply. In very exceptional cases, when excess treatment costs are very high and there are very few centres involved, subvention support may be available from the Department of Health to help with
