In April 2024 this document was republished in an accessible format. The guidance itself remains the same since it was last updated on 8 August 2019 - it will be fully updated later in 2024.
This guidance provides a framework for the NHS and its partners to identify, recover and attribute the costs of health and social care research and development (ACoRD) in a transparent and consistent way.
It makes clear the distinction between:
- research costs
- NHS support costs
- NHS treatment costs
Further information on AcoRD, including links to Annex B and UK country-specific information, is available on the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) website.
