Clinical Trials Registration and Results Reporting Policy

To assist research faculty with clinical trials registration and results reporting in meeting new federal guidelines, Rutgers' Office of Research Regulatory Affairs issued the Clinical Trials Registration and Results Reporting Policy. 

The  policy is intended to provide an organizational framework and support to University investigators responsible for complying with regulation, grantor requirements and/or publication standards regarding registration and reporting.

The policy applies to all faculty, staff and other employees, students, or other individuals conducting clinical trials requiring registration and results reporting on University premises, using University property or facilities, and University Institutional Review Board (IRB) authorization.
