The National Research Register
(UK) - The NRR 1998 - Issue 1  The National Research Register (NRR) is a register of ongoing and recently completed research projects funded by the United Kingdom's National Health Service. The first release contains information on over 28,000 research projects, as well as entries from the Medical Research Council's Clinical Trials Register, and details on reviews in progress collected by the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. As the most comprehensive register of current research in the NHS, it has enormous potential to: identify unpublished research - particularly important to systematic reviewers of research; provide early warning on research which may lead to important research findings; improve the uptake and participation in clinical trails; identify and bring together researchers between and across related areas of research; help avoid unnecessary duplication in research - a waste of resources as well as potentially unethical. Records held on the NRR can include details on the research title, research question, methodology, sample group, outcome measures and research project contacts. Projects are indexed on an ongoing basis, using the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus of the National Library of Medicine. The NRR is assembled and published by Update Software Ltd on behalf of the Department of Health in the United Kingdom. Please email nrr@update.co.uk if you have questions or comments.
