What will happen with non Industry sponsored, Industry funded studies?
Investigator Initiated Trials (IITs) which are majority funded, but not sponsored by Industry may be eligible for inclusion onto the NIHR CRN Portfolio and are classed as medium priority in the NIHR eligibility criteria. They will however be required to go through a non-commercial adoption process to ensure high quality peer review and to ascertain levels of funding and CLRN support. Non-adopted IITs will continue to be supported by R&D Transitional Funding in the interim but will need to be adopted onto the Portfolio by April 09 to ensure access to service support and infrastructure funding. The adoption process for non-commercial studies is currently being developed and more information about this will be available shortly.
