Related questions: 

• Does the budget estimate represent your internal expenses or is it what you will pay to the Center for the patient enrolled?

• Is the tissue sample shipping paid by you?

• What are the costs covered by CURE51?

• What is the invoicing plan? 

CURE51 is committed to covering all the costs of the ROSALIND study. 

These include the time dedicated to the study by the Principal Investigator and the Study Coordinator, the debanking fees, the administrative costs and eventual startup fees. 

All the additional costs, such as IDH testing and shipping are also covered by CURE51 but they are not included in the Provider's budget. They will be invoiced separately. 

NB: The budget is often provided for an estimated number of patients. CURE51 and the Provider agree on a fee per patient and the invoice will be adjusted with the actual number of patients enrolled. 

Budget Structure

The budget is calculated based on:

• The number of patients to be provided by the center

• The estimated time required per task

• Hourly salary rates of involved staff, based on international benchmarks

• Biobank retrieval fee per sample

• Applicable institutional overhead rates

This model ensures fairness, transparency, and competitiveness across all sites.

Tasks

The tasks include:

• Patient identification

• Creation of the patient profile and declaration of the patient sample on our eCRF platform called Patient Profile Platform (PPP)

• Requesting the samples from the biobank where they are stored

• Data entry of the patients’ information on the PPP by the study coordinator (such as medical record, diagnosis and treatment details etc.)

• Check by the PI of the entered data

Invoicing Plan

The invoicing plan is the payment schedule. It is split into 2 invoices: 

• Invoice 1 will be paid once CURE51’s Lab receives all the samples (Outlier and Control patients)

• Invoice 2 will be paid once all the data entry for all patients are completed on the PPP (CURE51's own eCRF)
