About

Part 1Who we are

Overseva is for readers who want to know who is checking the checkers. We noticed most explainers stop at what a study tests and never mention who keeps it safe.

Each file covers one safeguard, names the public bodies involved and lists the questions worth asking.

Part 2What we leave out

We stay out of the recruiting side: no enrollment, no study matching, no medical advice, and no sharing your information with anyone who wants your participation.

Overseva is a brand of The Nelson M Group LLC. It is an information website only. We are not a review board, regulator, medical provider, sponsor or recruiter.

Part 3Writing and review

Guides on Overseva come from the editorial team at The Nelson M Group LLC, who draw on general guidance such as public resources from the National Institutes of Health and the FDA, plus the patient-education pages of university medical centers. You will see a last-reviewed month on every guide, and each is revisited at least annually.

If a guide seems off, tell us at [email protected] (subject: “Correction”). When our summary and your own paperwork differ, your paperwork is right.
