NOT-OD-25-134 announces NIH is indefinitely extending flexibility for registration and results reporting requirements for Basic Experimental Studies with Humans (BESH) submitted to designated BESH funding opportunities, including those with application due dates on or after September 25, 2025.
During this period of delayed enforcement, the NIH continues to expect registration and results reporting for these BESH. While the NIH notice allows alternative public forms to be used, UCSF policy requires registration through ClinicalTrials.gov. All BESH must still meet expectations for Good Clinical Practice training, informed consent posting, and full clinical trial application requirements.
Questions regarding this policy can be directed to OEC's Clinical Trials Regulatory Support team.
Please see the Notice for where to direct Inquiries.
