Researchers often get third parties to complete SSI forms on their behalf. Can they still do this when their study goes through NIHR CSP?
A. Yes, although it is always important that the investigators are fully aware of what is being done on their behalf. Q. If a researcher puts a potentially eligible study through NIHR CSP, but gets turned down for funding at the first attempt, what should they do if they then secure funding through a different eligible funding stream? A. The CI will have already filled out a PAF and the study will be on the system. In order to prevent duplicate applications, the CI should inform CSPU that funding for the study has been secured from an alternative source, and they will have to submit an additional PAF.
