All projects requests must include a cost object to be billed for services. Billing is processed monthly through the UNMC Research Support System.
*Certain preliminary searches may be subsidized by program project grants please inquire whether your study may qualify.
- Pre-study feasibility, where you are determining whether a sufficient patient population exists (numbers only, no records are pulled) are 100% subsidized by the GP-IDeA-CTR grant.
- Queries to identify samples from the Nebraska Biobank are also 100% subsidized by the GP-IDeA-CTR grant
-
The preliminary query design for recruitment of subjects using the electronic health record for clinical trials are 100% subsidized by Nebraska Medicine and the Center for Clinical and Translational Research. Once the query has been designed and tested (generally one query of the records with data provided) subsequent queries are billed to the principal investigator/study at the full rate of $60.00/hr. Dr. Purnima Guda will work with you to provide an estimate for inclusion in your study budget for those costs based on the extent and frequency of the queries that will be required.
