The HS/HSL decided to a have a bit of fun this summer and try out a pilot project to engage your thoughts and opinions. Our first question, “Who will win the NBA Championship: Cavaliers or Warriors?” correctly predicted the Warriors would carry the title, getting 31 votes to the Cavaliers 14. Some pranksters added the O’s and the Lakers to keep us on our toes. Look out for more questions in the near future and thanks for voting!

We were impressed by this whiteboard completely covered front and back with notes for students studying for a psych final. Students are intently poring over books, laptops and screens, meeting in groups and studying individually. Please come by the Information Services Desk if there is anything we can do to assist you. Need help reserving a study room? Want earplugs/headphones? Fresh whiteboard markers? We are here to help you succeed.
ClinicalTrials.gov: New HHS and NIH Trial Reporting Requirements May 23, 1:00-2:00 ET
Rebecca Williams, Assistant Director of ClinicalTrials.gov, will provide an overview of the new clinical trial registration and results information submission requirements that became effective on January 18, 2017. The HHS regulations (42 CFR Part 11) clarify and expand the reporting requirements for clinical trials of FDA-regulated products as initially described in the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007. The NIH policy is complementary to the regulations. These requirements are intended to help ensure information about ongoing and completed clinical trials are available to the public. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these requirements apply to research being conducted at their institution and how to support researchers in understanding the information that must be submitted. Information on the resources available to support institutions and researchers will also be highlighted. Williams will additionally demo the beta version of ClinicalTrials.gov. Attendees are eligible for 1 MLA CE

Our staff will be happy to help in any way we can (hshsl@umaryland.edu or 410-706-7995).
The HS/HSL has special hours during the month of May. Regular fall hours will extend until Wednesday, May 17th. Slightly shortened hours will take place from May 18th to May 29th.
