Research Performance

The government wishes to see a dramatic and sustained improvement in the performance of providers of NHS services in initiating and delivering clinical research. The aim is to increase the number of patients who have the opportunity to participate in research and to enhance the NHS attractiveness as a host for research.

‘Performance in Initiating and Delivering Clinical Research’ (PID) is an initiative by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), and means all clinical research studies being conducted by us are subject to new performance benchmarks, in initiation and delivery time. Further detailed information can be found here: www.nihr.ac.uk

NIHR - PIIs and PIDs

All NHS organisations are required to publish these 'time to target' figures by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) on a quarterly basis in this format.

This is in line with the Government's Plan for Growth, which announced structural reforms to remove barriers to growth, including the transformation of incentives for the initiation and delivery of local clinical research.
