The NIHR CRN Non-commercial Portfolio Application service

Date: 22 December 2022

In order to improve the process of applying for NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) support and inclusion on the NIHR CRN Portfolio, we have extended the use of the Non-commercial Portfolio Application service within our Central Portfolio Management System (CPMS).

 This service is now available to all English-led studies, including studies that do not need, and, therefore, are not applying for HRA Approval, with the following exceptions:

• Studies that are applying for HRA Approval through the standard IRAS. These studies should continue to apply for NIHR CRN support by selecting ‘yes’ to question 5b of the IRAS Project Filter.
• Studies that are fully supported by other NIHR research infrastructure. These will not require additional support from the NIHR CRN and need not apply.

Further information can be found on our Non-commercial Portfolio Application service page on the NIHR website.
