How
do I register my study?
Every study funded by NHLBI will be registered in the National
Library of Medicine’s Clinical Trials Protocol Registration
System (PRS) in order to enter clinical trial records into ClinicalTrials.gov. ClinicalTrials.gov
provides patients, family members, and members of the public
current information about clinical research studies. After
the grant is funded, the NHLBI subcontractor will contact
you to obtain details about your study and will ensure that
the proper information is entered into the system. The
subcontractor will contact you periodically throughout the
grant period in order to update the study progress on the
site.
If you want your study to be considered for publication in
a journal governed by the International Committee of Medical
Journal Editors (ICMJE), make sure you understand its registration
policy. Depending on the type of trial you're conducting,
ICMJE's publication policy may require that you register your
trial before you enroll your first patient. To see
how this may apply to your study, read "Is
This Clinical Trial Fully Registered?”.
