NCCIH Issues New Policy on Clinical Study Accrual and Retention
In the interest of enhancing clinical research, NCCIH has developed an NCCIH Policy on Study Accrual and Retention for all new human subjects research projects funded after January 1, 2017. This policy requires that a Study Accrual and Retention Plan (SARP) be developed for every clinical research project, which provides specific accrual timelines and benchmarks. SARPS are submitted for approval to NCCIH prior to the initiation of clinical activity. Visit the NCCIH website for more details. (Source: Explore)

On the Science of Consciousness: Epistemological Reflections and Clinical Implications
