Trial funding information is optional for Abbreviated trials.
Check out the trial before you begin abstraction
Before you begin abstracting or validating any trial, be sure you check it out first. Otherwise you will not be able to modify any trial data.
You can look up grant information in RePORT
You can search for the grant for the trial you are abstracting in the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools (RePORT). On the left side of the page, in the Quick Links menu, click the NIH Grants - RePORT link.
How to Abstract NIH Grant Information
- Search for the trial of interest. In the search results, click the NCI Trial Identifier link for that trial.
