UK Clinical Research Delivery Performance Indicators Report

The UK Clinical Research Delivery Performance Indicators Report, an evolution of the Research Status Report, incorporates a collection of system-wide UK metrics that monitor progress towards The Future of UK Clinical Research Delivery's vision.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Devolved Administrations introduced these performance indicators in the Full Government Response to the O’Shaughnessy Review (November 2023). These indicators are intended to drive short to medium-term progress towards our collective 10-year vision and to maintain the UK's rich and varied clinical research portfolio.  

Using data collected by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the monthly report is produced by DHSC on behalf of the UK research delivery system. The report provides transparent updates on progress towards our goals over time.
