HRA Now - new draft Commercial Chief Investigator Agreement - tell us what you think
|

 What: tell us what you think about a new draft model Commercial Chief Investigator Agreement (mCCIA)
Who: commercial sponsors, contract research organisations, chief investigators (CIs) and the NHS / HSC organisations which employ them
When: until 30 November 2024
We've worked with colleagues across the UK on a new draft model Commercial Chief Investigator Agreement (mCCIA) agreement.
A small number of commercial organisations have helped develop the draft template, and we are now looking for comments from the wider community about its suitability for use with commercial clinical trials of an investigational medicinal product (CTIMPs).
What is the mCCIA for?
The new template will allow commercial organisations to contract with NHS / HSC organisations which provide a CI for a commercial clinical trial of a CTIMP. The pharmaceutical industry has told us that this would make contracting for CI services in the NHS / HSC easier and quicker.
In the future, we hope to develop similar templates to contract CI services for other types of commercial research. The mCCIA isn’t designed to be used when contracting directly with universities or with CIs as private individuals.
What we are looking for
We are asking for comments on this current draft.
We are also interested in understanding how the template could be changed to be suitable for non-CTIMP commercial studies, so that we can consider how we support CI contracting for these studies in future.
Share your feedback
Please provide any comments you have by email, including comments and tracked changes within the draft template as needed, to research.agreements@hra.nhs.uk on or before 30 November 2024.
Feedback will be reviewed by the Four Nations Contracts Leads who will decide what further changes to make to the agreement. We aim to publish a version for use by the end of March 2025.
