4. What is the Budget Workbook? • A tool used by the OCTR (Office of Clinical and Translational Research), with input by the P.I., the Study Coordinator, and the Department Administrator to develop an accurate clinical trial budget. • Identifies all of the charges associated with the study. Charges are defined as: • RC, Routine Clinical Services (incurred as part of patient’s standard care, which are paid by Medicaid, Medicare, Private Insurance, or patient), or • PIC, Protocol Induced Costs (charges incurred as a result of the research which are usually paid by the Research Sponsor).

5. What is the Budget Workbook? • Charges can be paid by only one payer. • Ensures Research Financial Compliance, so that there’s no inadvertent “double-dipping.” • It keeps us out of trouble!

6. How do we start? • The PI, Study Coordinator, or Department Administrator sends OCTR the protocol, the Informed Consent Form and the sponsor's budget. • The Preliminary Workbook Packetis completed by the P.I. and Study Coordinator and sent to OCTR. • The Packet tells OCTR who’s doing what and where it’s happening. • Charges are determined to be paid by insurance or by research. • The packet is available on- line under the Forms tab at http://octr.uchc.edu

7. What does the Budget Workbook tell us? • Tells us how much the study will cost • Identifies who is responsible for paying • The payer will be one of the following: • Private Insurance • Medicare • Medicaid • The patient, if there is no insurance • The Research Sponsor • Identifies the time and effort required of each member of the study team.

8. Is one Budget Workbook just like another? It all depends on the who’s paying…. • Federal • Foundation • Industry • Institution

9. Applying Discount Rates • Different studies receive different research discount rates • UMG discount for ALL clinical trials: 20% from standard fee • JDH discount for Industry sponsored studies: 20% from the standard fee • JDH discount for “other” clinical trials: 45% from the standard fee (includes Foundation supported studies and non-Federal, Investigator-initiated studies.) • Federal (NIH, NCI): discount negotiated annually See Tab 13 of the Guide on line for rates http://octr.uchc.edu

12. Why do a Budget Workbook? • Budget workbook was developed to • Standardize the research budget process • Provides mechanism to assure research financial compliance in all clinical trials • Provides accurate costs for doing clinical trial at UCHC • Assists the person paying the bills in identifying what should be billed to the Research Sponsor v. what should be billed to Insurance
