Welcome to Clinical Trial Confidential.

We believe the clinical trial industry lacks a platform for open, transparent conversation. This lack of transparency inhibits progress. In this industry, that means patients are the ones that suffer.

It is our hope that the ability to post anonymously will help foster useful conversation by allowing users to express their opinions without fear of retaliation, fear of appearing ignorant and otherwise allowing users to express opinions that may be contrary to their employer or that their position may not permit.

We believe great ideas should stand on their own merit and not the credentials of their author.

We hope these values will foster an environment of collaboration.

What items do you apply overhead on in the budget?

Hello all, 

I am trying to get an idea of what people are applying OH on in their industry budgets. what might be better is perhaps what people are excluding from the OH.

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what is and isn't applicable to apply this rate. 

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

So at my site, our institution charges OH (27% for industry)to a budget for every charge that hits the funding. So when I pay $100 for that ECG, $127 leaves my budget account. Once a study is closed and any surplus I have gets transferred over to a surplus account with other funds that also had the same OH rate, if I buy $1k of computer equipment with my surplus account, $1270 leaves my surplus account. Because of how the OH hits my funding, I require OH applied to everything non-negotiable. I do see Sponsors that can't/won't pay OH on stipends, etc so the workaround is either they pay those directly or use a 3rd party vendor, or add it to the CPP and not have it be a line item. Hope this helps!

OH generally sits on top of anything that's a "procedure" or "assessment" from what I've noticed from budgets. 27% is crazy low though. I'm seeing sites get twice that in some instances.
