Process and Budgeting Tool

Depending on the study's funding source, the CHPS may charge for some or all of its services. These charges generally are billed to your grant or to a research billing number (RBN) linked to your grant. These RBNs exist to help ensure that patient-related charges from research projects (such as chemistry panels, CBCs, etc.) are billed to the research project rather than charged directly to the research study participant.

The CHPS Administrative Committee generally meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month to review applications received in the CHPS and HUP Inpatient Nursing Intake by noon on the previous Friday. If you would like an estimate before applying to CHPS, please send the completed CHPS Budgeting Tool, protocol, and pharmacy manual to Tracey Caputo and Bonnie Falconer.  The budget tool is used to outline which CHPS services will be needed and to ensure an accurate estimate.  The tool includes an 'Instructions' tab and three required tabs: 'Feasibility Questionnaire', 'Initiation' and 'Data Input'.
