42 U.S.C. § 287d–1 — National data system and clearinghouse on research on women’s health

(a) Data system. (1) NIH's Director, working with the Office of Research on Women's Health and the Director of the National Library of Medicine, must establish a data system to collect, store, analyze, retrieve, and share information about research on women's health that NIH's research institutes conduct or support. This information must be available through information systems reachable by health professionals, researchers, and the public. (2) This data system must include a registry of clinical trials testing experimental treatments developed for women's-health research. The registry must include information on who can be a subject, sex, age, ethnicity or race, and where the trial is located. Lead investigators of these trials must submit this information to the registry within 30 days after it's available. Once a trial ends, the lead investigator must give the registry the results, including any potential toxicities or side effects tied to the treatments tested. (b) Clearinghouse. NIH's Director, working with the Office and the National Library of Medicine, must establish, maintain, and run a program that shares information on NIH research institutes' research and prevention activities relating to women's health.
