# spiritR

This package contains an Rmarkdown template for a clinical trial protocol adhering to the SPIRIT checklist. This package was inspired by the Spirit Electronic Protocol Tool & Resource SEPTRE software program.

Contained within the template is a section for each of the elements that should be adressed in a clinical trial protocol. Links to the SPIRIT statement guidance about what should be addressed in each element are provided.

Functions in this package provide the functionality to upload information from the protocol developed in your Rmardown file to a new record in the clinicaltrials.gov registry.
