Abstract: The RMR System allows NIMH staff to monitor more effectively the recruitment of participants in all NIMH-sponsored clinical trials, regardless of size, and other clinical research studies that plan to enroll 150 or more human subjects in a single study. Clinical studies can have difficulty recruiting, and accurate and timely reporting is the best way to ensure recruitment goals are met within the expected timeframe. Once recruitment is scheduled to begin, investigators report actual progress on recruitment milestones three times per year, by April 1, August 1, and December 1. Investigators who fail to meet their milestones may be requested to submit interim monthly reports. The primary use of this information is to ensure that realistic recruitment milestones are established from the onset of a project, and that these milestones are met throughout the course of the research. By ensuring timely recruitment into clinical research studies, NIMH can reduce the need to extend timelines or supplement funds in order to complete the research project, potentially increasing efficiency in the funding process and expediting the availability of treatments for mental illness
