§287d–1 National Data System and Clearinghouse on Research on Women’s Health

Summary

The NIH Director must create a single data system, working with the Office Director and the National Library of Medicine, to collect, keep, study, and share information about women’s health research done or funded by the national research institutes. The information must be available to doctors, health providers, researchers, and the public. The system must include a registry for clinical trials of experimental treatments for women’s health. The registry must show who can join, participants’ sex, age, race or ethnicity, and where the trial takes place. Trial leaders must give this information to the registry within 30 days after it is available and must report results and any toxic effects after the trial ends. The NIH Director must also set up and run a program, with the same partners, to provide information about the national research institutes’ research and prevention work related to women’s health.
