Population Tracking @ NIH
The NIH Revitalization Act (Public Law 103-43) requires that all NIH-funded clinical research include women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations; exceptions to this policy must have a compelling rationale. To comply with this law, NIH policy requires all investigators to provide initial target data and yearly cumulative enrollment data describing the sex/gender and ethnicity/race of participants in each clinical research protocol that is proposed. NIH developed the Population Tracking Module as part of the NIH eRA system.
