In the current economic climate, obtaining funding for large-scale national health services research surveys can be very difficult. In this paper we describe how the funding for a national survey, in which a random sample of 3696 bereaved relatives were interviewed, was obtained through collaboration with health regions and districts, and we consider the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. Although researchers considering using joint funding with the NHS may have to make compromises between ideal study design and what is feasible given local needs and the geographical spread of participating districts or NHS units, we conclude that collaboration can benefit both parties.
在当前的经济形势下，为大规模的国家卫生服务研究调查获取资金可能非常困难。在本文中，我们描述了一项全国性调查的资金是如何通过与卫生区域和地区合作获得的，该调查对3696名失去亲人的亲属进行了随机抽样访谈，我们还考虑了这种方法的优缺点。尽管考虑与国民健康服务体系（NHS）联合资助的研究人员可能不得不在理想的研究设计与根据当地需求以及参与地区或NHS单位的地理分布情况可行的方案之间做出妥协，但我们得出结论，合作对双方都有益。
