Main Objectives

The main objectives of R&D Finance are to manage Research Project costs from their inception through to the final recovery of income/funding and to ensure that income and costs have been appropriately allocated.

Specific aims are as follows:

• To ensure Non Standard of Care activities and procedures are accurate and complete in all R&D study costings presented to R&D Finance for approval.
• All costs, whether Commercial or Non Commercial, are properly and fully funded, whether by Sponsor, Institution, Grant or NIHR funding.
• All Research Agreements clearly reflect the costings that had been approved by R&D Finance.
• All Income/ Funding is recovered from the various sources, accurately and on time.
• All income received is allocated correctly and fairly between Specialties, Support departments and sub-parties such as Nottingham University or Nations Healthcare (operate the Treatment Centre).
• All funding specifically allocated to recover the cost of the R&D department is managed and correctly accounted for.
