Preclinicaltrials.eu (PCT) aims to provide a comprehensive database of preclinical animal study protocols.

Protocols are preferably registered at inception in order to increase transparency, help avoid duplication, and reduce the risk of reporting bias by enabling comparison of the completed study with what was planned in the protocol.

These goals transcend the cardiovascular theme, but are nonetheless very relevant too. From its start, the NLHI supports and facilitates this initiative by Prof. Chamuleau (Amsterdam UMC) with a partially funded, dedicated project manager and grant writing expertise. In 2020 PCT acquired a 200K grant from the Ministry of Agriculture.
