Process Map for a Clinical Trial Involving PET in England

STAGE 1: Obtaining Funding

This section of the process map provides an overview of the steps involved in obtaining funding for a clinical trial. Other useful resources can be found at:

• The NIHR Clinical Trials Toolkit provides practical advice to researchers in designing and conducting publicly funded clinical trials in the UK.
• The Regulatory Advice Service for Regenerative Medicines provides regulatory information and advice for researchers.
• The Experimental Medicine Tool Kit aims to support researchers involved in experimental medicine studies in assessing the risks and devising risk proportionate management and monitoring strategies.
• The Health Research Authority (HRA) provides a range of information and resources for planning research projects.

*Funding for the Core Lab function should be applied for during the grant application process on a per trial basis. Please complete the Request for QA form and send to us at an early stage to obtain costs for your trial.
