UK Portfolio Review
The breadth and depth of primary care research has recently been summarised in a review of research registered on the UK Clinical Research Network database. The report has identified areas of strength and important potential activity gaps. The next stage in making the information useful to people, patients, policymakers clinicians and researchers is to decide which questions which might fill the gaps should be prioritised. Draft Report

SPCRN Guidance for Researchers
ARCO Guidance Documents
Throughout 2011 the 4 UK health departments have been meeting to discuss new guidance to replace ARCO (Attributing the revenue costs of externally-funded non-commercial research in the NHS). These discussions have also included input from research funders, with the aim of agreeing on an approach that builds on the original principles of attribution set out in 1997. CSO is committed to reaching a national, workable resolution to this matter but in the meantime, the existing ARCO guidance should continue to be consulted. It is hoped that the new guidance will be issued in the autumn for implementation at a date in 2012 that is still to be confirmed.
