Research requires money, and finding the funds you need to support your research is a fact of life for most clinical researchers.
Fortunately there are many sources of funding available, including research grants, awards, fellowships, cooperatives, and other types of funding.

1. Processes Involved in Obtaining Funding for Clinical Research
Finding the cash you need to support your study is a reality of life for most clinical researchers.
Fortunately, there are several financial options accessible, such as;
Research grants
Scholarships
Fellowships
Cooperatives, and other forms of support.
Funding for clinical trials is a complex, incredibly costly endeavor. Fortunately, clinical research organizations are highly diligent in their search for medical innovation. Regardless of the funding source, clinical research organizations have a responsibility to manage funds in a way that moves the organization toward a greater purpose: advancing medicine for all.

1. Processes Involved in Obtaining Funding for Clinical Research
Clinical trials cannot be conducted without adequate funding.
First steps the study manager or appropriate budget staff must take is to determine if it is financially feasible for the site to conduct the study.
Study budgets are complex and require analysis of the protocol
The clinical trial agreement (CTA), the informed consent, and an understanding of the regulations of the Affordable Healthcare Act that impact research costs
Funding sources may influence the reporting of research findings and the interpretation of results. One study found that 86% of trial protocols documented an industry partner’s right to disapprove or review proposed manuscripts. This might also apply to other types of funders, for example, government. Reporting of funding in trials may appropriately influence how physicians interpret and use trial findings in clinical practice. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist recognizes this issue by including a section on reporting of funding

Clinical trials are long-term, highly regulated events that require countless resources. A single trial involves dozens of experts, medical supplies, recruitment efforts, and other costly line items. With this in mind, you might find yourself wondering, “Who pays for clinical trials? Where does the money come from, and how much do clinical trials cost?” Funding for clinical trials can come from a variety of sources including government agencies, nonprofit foundations, pharmaceutical companies, medical equipment manufacturers, and even private individuals
