Rates
Please submit a Service Request for consultation with CTRC to receive a custom cost estimate for your project. Contact us as early as possible during project development and funding application preparation.
The CTSI asks that investigators include the total costs of CTRC services in their budgets for all grants and contracts. Rates are subject to change each fiscal year (starting July 1). We suggest budgeting a 5% annual escalation for services planned in future fiscal years.
*External Investigators from Utah CTSI Hub Partner Sites should contact the CTRC with information about project funding source to receive a customized quote.
**The Utah CTSI subsidizes some rates for internally funded studies and those funded by study sponsors EXCEPT Commercial/Industry/Industry-Sponsored Non-Profit sponsors. Documentation of sponsor type must be demonstrated to the CTRC to receive the internal subsidized rates.
