The payment (or not) of a licence fee depends on the proposed use. The fee (if any) will depend on factors such as:
· whether the use is a commercial study or an academic (noncommercially funded) study / use in a publicly funded healthcare setting;
· how many times the outcome measure will be used in the study / for the proposed use;
· language requirements, namely access to our outcome measures translation library;
· your choice to purchase one of our comprehensive user manuals (where available) or other support materials.
The payment of fees also depends on the specific measure being licensed / purchased. However, the general rule is that for strictly non-commercial academic use or for publicly funded healthcare use, licences are provided free of charge. Further examples of the fee structure can be found in preamble to the online Licence Request web page. In order to discover if a fee applies to your planned use, please proceed to complete the licensing request process. Information on fees to be applied to any licence request are provided in advance of any licensing commitment, so you can withdraw from taking a licence and incurring fees should you decide to, without commitment.
Fees for the commissioning of new translations and for testing the proper migration of electronic versions of our measures are not covered here. These activities should be discussed separately with the clinical outcomes team.
Please complete an online Licence Request Form or contact one of our team members who would be pleased to discuss your study requirements and provide a quote.
Please note all users pay administration fees for accessing the available translations in our library and for support materials, such as comprehensive user manuals. Short user and or scoring guides (where available) are however provided free of charge.
