VERY lONG: Compilation of Clinical Trial Resources

It is with gratitude to our colleagues - List Mom Valerie G. Rankow, Cynthia
Kahn, Jan Rice, Nancy O'Brien, Helena M. VonVille, Jim Henderson, Martha E.
Stone, Bonnie Maky Rosen, and Eileen G. Erinoff - thatI am able to post this
list of resources for clinical trials. I cannot stress enough how much it
represents a collaborative effort. 

As Valerie said in response to my dismay at the lack of global trial
registration, "there are some basic sources, some specialized sources, and
then it's detective time, contacting drug companies and universities, etc."
How sad and unfortunate that individuals at their most vulnerable must sift
through so much. 

Please note that there are a few wrap-around links that might not come up
live at first click.
