ClinicalTrials.gov Demonstration Videos

In 2019, NLM began a multi-year effort to modernize the ClinicalTrials.gov public website and the related clinical trial information submission and management portal, the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS). One of the strategic goals of this effort is to improve the user experience.

Fast Forward from ClinicalTrials.gov is a series of short videos provided to educate users on the modernized websites. They address common questions directly from users on how to accomplish tasks on the modernized public website and PRS. Your feedback is welcome as we develop more videos.
