Acknowledging the NIHR Newcastle BRC

It is a contractual requirement to use correct acknowledgement for any outputs produced from NIHR-funded research. This includes publications, press releases, websites, presentations, posters and participant materials.

All materials produced for the public must:

  • Use the NIHR identity
  • Correctly acknowledge the NIHR and NIHR Newcastle BRC

 

Why acknowledge the NIHR Newcastle BRC?

The NIHR monitors and measures our performance from outputs, so anything that has not been acknowledged will not be counted. Future funding for the NIHR Newcastle BRC and other NIHR awards to the partnership (between Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, CNTW and Newcastle University) therefore depend on our performance in this area.

In addition, acknowledgements and bibliometric data are used by the Department of Health and Social Care to justify future funding for health research funding. By acknowledging your funding correctly, you are helping to ensure that clinical research projects and infrastructure will be supported in the future.
