Access to the Protocol Registration System (PRS)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) through its National Library of Medicine (NLM) developed the Protocol Registration System (PRS) to allow researchers and sponsors to list current information about clinical trials. This data entry system is restricted to authorized users, but operates to make information available to the public as required by the 1997 FDA Revitalization Act. Please visit http://clinicaltrials.gov to view the information compiled by this system concerning the clinical research being conducted or funded by NIH institutes.
