Manual of Procedures
The Manual of Procedures (MOP) (PDF, 468kb),  is a document used to facilitate consistency in protocol implementation and data collection across patients and clinical sites. Further, the MOP provides reassurance to all participants that scientific integrity and patient safety are closely monitored and increases the likelihood that the results of the study will be scientifically credible.
 
Clinical Trials Checklist
The purpose of the Clinical Trials Checklist (PDF, 458kb) is to inform NINDS program staff and grantees of the necessary steps and documentation needed for starting a clinical trial.
 
 
Clinical Trials.gov Registration and Reporting
ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and internationally. It provides patients, family members, health care professionals and members of the public access to information about clinical trials for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Registration in the ClinicalTrials.gov registry works in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) initiative requiring prior entry of clinical trials in a public registry as a condition for publication.
 
The first step to registering a trial on ClinicalTrials.gov is to secure a Protocol Registration System (PRS) account.  This account allows investigators to create and update clinical trial records as necessary.
