Cost Considerations

CARE-Q is supported in part by funding from the UC Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration & Development (UC BRAID) Consortium, the Clinical & Translational Research Institute (CTRI) program at UC San Diego and by resources from the University of California.

Application fees to initiate the certification process are nominal ($1,000), as is the cost of the site visit (range from $2,500 to $3,500, depending on duration and number of review team members needed).

Certification is valid for 5 years; each site must submit an annual report.
