New NIH Clinical Alerts Available on NLM Web Site

N/A

March 20, 2000 [posted]

NLM has once again made NIH Clinical Alerts available on its Web site, beginning March 9, 2000. This will serve to enhance the visibility of this important information. Clinical alerts expedite the release of findings from NIH-funded clinical trials where such release could significantly affect morbidity and mortality.

NLM began offering Clinical Alert notices online in January 1991 via its mainframe computer search system as a centralized service for all of NIH. Later it made the same information available via the Web. NLM preserves a copy of each Clinical Alert on its own site and, beginning with Clinical Alerts issued in 2000, also links to the Web site of the Institute releasing the alert. Users are encouraged to check the home pages of the separate NIH Institutes for other new announcements of or press releases on scientific information.
