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.More information is available at: http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/feb2005/od-03.htmPubMed’s Clinical Queries Page RedesignedThe Clinical Queries page has been redesigned to provide a more specialized PubMed searchfor clinicians.
