Study payments

Information on payments to centres for BADBIR data collection.

BADBIR centre finance

All dermatology departments contributing data to BADBIR receive payments of
£120 per baseline registration,
£30 per entry of follow-ups 1–6, and
£15 per entry of follow-up 7 onwards.

There are two payment periods each year:

  • 1 February to 31 July
  • 1 August to 31 January

At the end of each period, we generate a Payment & Recruitment Statement
showing all registrations and follow-ups recorded during that time. It also highlights
any missing data that might prevent payment. This statement is sent to all registered
database users at each centre, who are given three weeks to supply the missing data.

Missing data can be entered directly into the database, or you can contact the BADBIR office
by email or phone — especially if the issue is still within the 21-day edit window
and has not yet triggered a query on the system.

Important: Please do not forward the initial Payment & Recruitment Statement
email to your finance department for invoicing — even if everything looks correct.
We cannot process invoices submitted at this stage.

Two weeks later, we’ll reissue the statement so you can confirm that all outstanding
data has been resolved. Once the 3-week deadline closes, the final report will be run
and payment calculated. We will then send a purchase order to your
nominated finance contact.

Invoices must not be submitted before the purchase order is received,
as The University of Manchester cannot pay invoices without one.
