This page provides information about Excess Treatment Costs and the Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Tool (SoECAT), including UK Government, NIHR and AcoRD guidance.
Excess Treatment Costs
Excess Treatment Costs
Excess treatment costs (ETCs) are the additional costs that will be incurred if the treatment undertaken in a research study becomes the new standard treatment after the research study is completed.
This equates to the difference between the costs of the existing standard treatment and the treatment outlined in the research study.
Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Tool
Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Tool
The Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Tool (SoECAT) is a template designed to attribute the correct costs for all activities within a research study. This ensures that all site level costs are covered and all are identified.
The completion of a SoECAT can help with research costs in a funding application.
It is the researcher’s responsibility to complete the SoECAT but we will review and validate the attribution in conjunction with the researcher and partner organisation. We ask that you ideally come to us at least 20 working days before your submission deadline.
Once we have received a completed SoECAT, we require a minimum of 10 working days to complete validation.
