The Clinical Trials Protocol Template for the Behavioral and Social Sciences is a resource for communicating the science, methods, and operations of a clinical trial. This template is a suggested format for clinical trials that are testing a behavioral or social intervention or experimental manipulation. Use of the protocol template is encouraged but not required.
Overview
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) developed a standard definition of behavioral and social sciences research (BSSR) to reliably monitor the BSSR that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducts or supports. The definition was developed in 1996 and revised in 2019 with input from the BSSR community.
