About the ICTRP ICTRP Advisory Structure WHO ICTRP Team

The ICTRP is a project of the World Health Organization, based within the Research Policy and Cooperation department (RPC) of the Information, Evidence and Research cluster (IER).

From 31 August 2008, the advisory groups of the ICTRP (including the International Advisory Board and the Scientific Advisory Group) will be replaced by a single entity: the Advisory Group on Clinical Trial Registration and Reporting (AGCTRR). The members of this group will be drawn from the Expert Advisory Panel on Clinical Practice Guidelines, Research Methods and Ethics (GRME).

The terms of reference of the AGCTRR are to advise the ICTRP on:

• the strategic direction of the ICTRP
• scientific and technical issues relating to clinical trial registration and reporting
• the criteria by which a clinical trial registry will be deemed to be assigned the status of WHO Primary Registry
• the WHO trial registration data set
• other issues relating to clinical trial registration and reporting

Meetings of the AGCTRR will be announced on this web site. Stakeholders will be invited to contribute items for consideration on the agenda. The first meeting of the AGCTRR will be held on 4-5 November 2009.
