Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials Form
What Works Clearinghouse – Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials
Page Layout: What Works Clearinghouse Registries Introduction Page
<>
The What Works Clearinghouse operates two registries: the Registry of Evaluation Researchers and the
Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials.
The Registry of Evaluation Researchers is an online database of researchers who conduct evaluations of
the effectiveness of educational interventions. This resource is designed to help schools, school districts,
and educational program developers identify potential researchers (individuals and organizations) to
conduct studies of effectiveness of educational interventions.
The Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) is an online database of completed and in‐progress
RCTs in education. This resource is designed to help schools, school districts, and educational program
developers identify research regarding the effectiveness of educational interventions.
The information in the registry of Evaluation Researchers and Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials is
supplied solely by the evaluators themselves. Neither the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) nor the
U.S. Department of Education endorses any individuals or organizations listed in the Registries. The
WWC does not verify the accuracy of the information submitted by the evaluators, nor does it assess
their qualifications.

In order to submit an evaluator profile or register a randomized
controlled trial (RCT), researchers must have secure log‐in
credentials.
Researchers registering with the Registry of Evaluation
Researchers are required to submit:
Contact information
Examples of project experience by study design
Examples of project experience by publication
A signed letter of commitment to the WWC Evidence
Standards
We encourage you to print a paper copy of the Registry of Evaluation Researchers form (72 KB) in order
to review all the required information before completing the online registration.
Researchers registering Randomized Controlled Trials are required to submit study details, including:
Principal investigator
Start and anticipated end dates
Sample and design details
Primary outcomes
A signed letter of commitment
RCTs may be registered once the study receives funding and is in progress. We encourage you to print a
paper copy of the RCT Registry form (162 KB) in order to review all the required information before
completing the online registration.
If you have comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this form,
contact the What Works Clearinghouse.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of
information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for the collection
and registering of Randomized Controlled Trial information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response
including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Public reporting burden for the collection and
registering of Evaluation Researchers information is estimated to average 120 minutes per response including time
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this collection is voluntary.
Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington,
DC 20210‐4537 or email [email protected] and reference the OMB Control Number 1850‐0788. Note: Please
do not return the completed registry form to this address.
The information in the Registry of Evaluation Researchers and the Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials is
supplied solely by the researchers themselves. Neither the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) nor the U.S.
Department of Education endorses any individuals or organizations listed in the registries. The WWC does not
verify the accuracy of the information submitted by the researchers, nor does it assess their qualifications. The
WWC does not provide confidentiality of any information submitted to the registries.
