Educational Resources

The following is a list of educational resources for students and professionals in Neuropsychopharmacology and related fields.

Clinical Trial Posting Regulations

Deborah Zarin M.D., the administrator of ClinicalTrials.gov, has provided critical update of new regulations regarding posting the results of clinical trials on the web. These new regulations affect almost all ACNP members who conduct clinical trials. Dr. Zarin presented this talk to the ACNP Human Research and Liaison committees at the 2008 Annual Meeting. She noted that since the beginning of posting trial results on the web, the group doing the best regarding accuracy of results has been Pharma researchers, followed by extramural scientists, with intramural NIH scientists doing the least well. Many of us still know little about these new regulations. This presentation will help. The presentation can be found under the Basic Results Database/Recorded Presentation.
