Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 91 / Thursday, May 12, 2005 / Notices
Information Collection Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
This study will evaluate the
effectiveness of the Central Institutional
Review Board (CIRB), a pilot project
designed to streamline the protocol
activation process by conducting human
subject protection reviews that can be
utilized by local Institutional Review
Boards (IRB) for facilitated approval of
multi-institutional, NCI-sponsored
Phase 3 clinical trials. This evaluation
includes two surveys that will be made
available online to minimize respondent
burden. The CIRB survey will assess
acceptance level and satisfaction of
local IRB chairs, coordinators, and
principal investigators with the CIRB.
The Cooperative Group Staff Survey
will assess the opinions and experiences
of the operations and regulations staff of
the nine Clinical Trials Cooperative
Groups about CIRB operations, office
processes, and procedures. The findings
will provide valuable information
concerning whether the CIRB is meeting
its intended goals and will provide
recommendations for change and
further study. Frequency of Response:
Once. Affected Public: Registered
members of the CIRB and Clinical Trials
Cooperative Group Staff. Type of
Respondents: IRB chairs, IRB
coordinators, principal investigators,
and the operations and regulations staff
of Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups.
The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at $5,500. There are no
Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to
report. Estimated Number of
Respondents: 279. Estimated Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1. Average
Burden per Response: 0.50 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
Requested: 139.50. The total burden
estimate per respondent is shown
below.

a high level of research expertise in
behavioral research cancer control. A
primary objective of this study is to
determine if the program’s small grants
R03 funding mechanism is effective in
attracting investigators to the field of
behavioral research and if so, what
impact does the program have on the
career of successful applicants. The
findings will provide valuable
information regarding (1) effectiveness
of the program in attracting investigators
to the field; (2) the impact of the
program on investigators careers; and (3)
