Project Exit Points Project Exit Points

What NIHR are looking for:

  • Conditions that must be met before advancing to next stage
  • Project end points that minimise management risk
  • Project end points that support next stage project planning and request for further funding

Project exit points are conditions that must be met at the end of the project before advancing to next stage. Project exit points should minimise project management risk and support next stage project planning and request for further funding.

Examples of exit criteria

  • Feasibility data to inform a definitive clinical trial
  • Health economic assessment of the costs and patient benefit to the NHS
  • A business plan – including commercial and adoption strategies and implementation of product into the NHS
