for
the webinar

We are failing to register and report all our clinical trials. This causes
bias in the medical literature, which undermines both medicine and
research. When the media reports on this lack of transparency

medical research, we risk losing the trust of patients

and
the public.

*This webinar:*

   - Describes the current state of clinical trial transparency in the US
   - Outlines concrete steps for researchers to increase transparency in
   their own research
