    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), via the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has amended a regulation regarding clinical trials. This change updates the web address in the regulation concerning where to find information about submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov. The new rule removes the old URL https://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov and replaces it with https://clinicaltrials.gov or a future site, modernizing and centralizing information access. This amendment is technical and does not add new requirements for affected parties.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has decided to update the address you use to find information about clinical trials online. Now, you can go to ClinicalTrials.gov for what you need instead of the old website, making it all a bit easier and tidier.

    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing a rule to exempt certain confidential information in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) record system from parts of the Privacy Act. This proposal aims to protect the identities of reviewers who evaluate applicants for NIH's Loan Repayment Programs. By doing so, the rule seeks to ensure that reviewers can provide honest and unbiased feedback without fear of revealing their identities, which is crucial for the integrity of the review process. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal by March 15, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if people had to give their honest opinions about something but didn't want others to know it was them talking because they might get in trouble. The government wants to keep the names of those who help pick the best people for a special program secret, so they feel safe to say what they really think.
