Clinical Trials Budget Plans
Published on Jul 31, 2019 · Last Updated 1 year 8 months ago
The Clinical Trials Financial Management (CTFM) Budgeting team assists researchers with:
- Creating budget plans that outline billable procedures per the study protocol
- Negotiating industry sponsored clinical trial budgets
- Reviewing existing budgets, consent forms and contracts for concurrence
To submit a pricing request, divisions and departments should utilize the SIFTER platform located in eIRB and select the option for 'new pricing request.'
Divisions and departments will use eSIFTER module for new budget requests.
Contact the Budget Analyst listed in your study workspace in OnCore (Budget Analyst in the Staff List).
- A pricing request is used for non-industry, pre-award grant applications to provide patient care costs that are billable through Epic using CPT codes (i.e. labs, imaging, etc.).
- Industry and non-industry studies that have finalized protocols, have been or are ready to be submitted to eIRB, and have signed CDA’s require full budgets.
CTFM's Clinical Research Financial Analysts create all budget plans. You can email cranalyst@chop.edu for assistance. Additionally, the Financial Analysts also provide budget consultation services to help ascertain the feasibility and cost of a study by providing a full study budget analysis that includes start-up costs, direct and indirect patient care costs for both industry and non-industry studies.
A clinical trial budget developed by the CTFM is the official document authorizing research related patient charges to be billed to your study financial account. The clinical trial budget lists all of the allowable procedures by CPT code (current procedural terminology), and is required for every research study that has billable procedures being paid directly by a grant/sponsor or provided by the CHPS program.
