NIH defines clinical research as “patient-oriented clinical research conducted with human subjects, or research on the causes
and consequences of disease in human populations involving material of human origin (such as tissue specimens and cognitive
phenomena) for which an investigator or colleague directly interacts with human subjects in an outpatient or inpatient setting
to clarify a problem in human physiology, pathophysiology or disease, or epidemiological or behavioral studies, outcomes research
or health services research, or developing new technologies, therapeutic interventions, or clinical trials."
