What other types of organisations can be party to an application to RfPB?
The lead organisation must be an NHS organisation within the region and we expect evidence of academic involvement, other types of organisations (e.g. charities) can be involved as long a clear rationale is provided and their role is clearly explained. A commercial company could also be party to the application but the RfPB award would not include research costs to be paid to a commercial company if that company would obtain financial benefit from the research. RfPB awards could include the research costs of a commercial company only if there is no financial benefit and if the company has a track record in non-commercial NHS research. We would expect any resulting intellectual property from the research to be vested in the NHS.
