The NIH policy will achieve several important goals, including:

1. Creating a stable archive of peer-reviewed research publications resulting from NIH-funded studies to ensure the permanent preservation of these vital research findings;

2. Securing a searchable compendium of research publications that NIH and its awardees can use to manage their research portfolios, monitor scientific productivity, and, ultimately, help set research priorities, and;

3. Making published results of NIH-funded research more readily accessible to the public, health care providers, educators, and scientists.
1. Search by Clinical Study Category (previously Clinical Queries using Research Methodology Filters)

2. Find Systematic Reviews

3. Medical Genetic Searches - this is a new feature

These options are displayed as jump links at the top of the page and each has its own query box. Searches can be refined using the limits feature. For comprehensive searches go to Pubmed directly.

The Medical Genetics Searches were developed in conjunction with the staff of GeneReviews: Genetic Disease Online Reviews at GeneTests, University of Washington, Seattle.
