Abstract

In 2006 the English Department of Health launched a programme with £450m for the funding of around 10 biomedical research centres over a five-year period, to be within leading clinical and university partnerships, able to demonstrate international excellence and reflect a range of clinical areas. The bespoke process to procure the biomedical research centres resulted in relatively low transaction costs, compared to more traditional routes into funding research centres, and is an example of the use of metrics that could inform the on-going debate in the UK regarding future research assessment exercises.
