Content: Although the NIAID ClinRegs website contains information of a legal nature, it is intended for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice or opinions as to the current operative laws, regulations, or guidelines of any jurisdiction, including the United States. The Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations remain the official sources for regulatory information published by the United States. While every effort is made to provide accurate and complete information, the laws, regulations, and guidelines referenced are often complex and may provide more details than are provided on this site. Also, since new standards are issued on a continuing basis, NIAID cannot guarantee that this site is free of inaccuracies and reflects the most current information available. Local authorities and research ethics committees should be consulted before commencing research activities.
When a country’s regulatory requirements are not available in English, the content provided is developed using unofficial sources or automated translation services.
Occasionally this site houses country-specific regulatory documents when they are otherwise not available online. Though we strive to provide the most current information available, these documents cannot be guaranteed to be the most up-to-date versions. Also, they may not be Section 508 compliant, in which case the documents' authors should be contacted to request accessible versions.
Links to External Websites and Documents: This site primarily contains links to non-U.S. Government websites and documents, which are provided for the convenience of users. Such use does not constitute an official endorsement or approval by NIAID of any external website, document, product, or service. The external site's privacy policy applies when clicking on an external link. We are not responsible for Section 508 compliance on other federal or private websites or documents.
Machine Translations Disclaimer: ClinRegs content is published in English. ClinRegs may offer translations of the content through online machine translation services, such as Google Translate.
