Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) and the Assistant Secretary for Health have taken final action in the following case: Carlos A. Murillo, M.D., University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston: Based on the report of an inquiry conducted by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) and additional analysis and information obtained by the Office of Research Integrity during its oversight review, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) found that Carlos A. Murillo, M.D., former Surgical Resident, Department of Surgery, UTMB, engaged in research misconduct in research supported by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH), grants R01 DK48498 and T32 DK07639. Specifically, Dr. Murillo falsified research on the amelioration by antisense RNA (siRNA) of dextraninduced colonic toxicity in mice. He altered the concentrations of dextran solution fed to mice to induce colonic inflammation, by intentionally including little or no dextran in the drinking water of siRNA treated mice, so that the animals that received siRNA would have few or no colonic lesions. Dr. Murillo has entered into a Voluntary Exclusion Agreement (Agreement) in which he has voluntarily agreed, for a period of three (3) years, beginning on May 30, 2007: (1) That any institution that submits an application for PHS support for a research project on which Dr. Murillo’s participation is proposed or that uses him in any capacity on PHS support research, or that submits a report of PHS-funded research in which he is involved, must concurrently submit a plan for supervision of his duties to the funding agency for approval; the supervisory plan must be designed to ensure the scientific integrity of Dr. Murillo’s research contribution; Dr. Murillo agrees to ensure that a copy of the supervisory plan is also submitted to ORI by the institution and agrees that he will not participate in any PHSsupported research until such a supervision plan is submitted to ORI; (2) to exclude himself from serving in any advisory capacity to PHS, including but not limited to service on any PHS advisory committee, board, and/or peer review committee, or as a consultant; and (3) to request retraction of the abstract entitled ‘‘Inhibition of Phosphoinositol 3-kinase Using Anti-p85 siRNA Attenuates Dextran-Sulfate-Induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease’’ (Gastroenterology 126:A49, 2004), by signing the letter of retraction prepared by ORI attached as Attachment 2 and made part of the Agreement.

Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting a one-year approval from the Office of Management and Budget to collect information about the effectiveness of care coordination for patients with spina bifida. Studies have shown that care coordination is beneficial for individuals with complex health conditions such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, however, the extent to which care coordination is effective for assisting individuals with spina bifida is unknown. Spina bifida is one of the most common birth defects, affecting approximately 3 per 10,000 live births in the United States annually. The proposed activity is part of the National Spina Bifida Program mandated in Section 317C of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b–4). Researchers will visit 10 spina bifida clinics nationwide. At each clinic, one focus group will be conducted with approximately eight caregivers of children with spina bifida. Each focus group will last about two hours. In addition, interviews will be conducted with approximately five staff members at each clinic; each interview will take approximately 45 minutes. Focus group and interview respondents will be asked a variety of questions related to care coordination for individuals with spina bifida including how care is coordinated in the clinic, barriers and facilitators to the provision of care coordination, the effectiveness of care coordination, and recommendations for improving care coordination.

BILLING CODE 4163–18–P ATSDR considers evaluation to be a critical component for enhancing program effectiveness and improving resource management. ATSDR’s mandate under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERLCA), as amended, is to help prevent or reduce further exposures at hazardous waste sites and the illnesses that result from such exposures. A standardized methodology to monitor outcomes associated with agency intervention will provide the data needed for demonstrating effectiveness and efficiency as well as identifying areas for improvement. ATSDR, in cooperation with our cooperative agreement partners, is developing a series of survey modules designed to measure individual attitudes, knowledge and behaviors, as well as mental and physical health selfassessments, that may be influenced by health education and health promotion efforts conducted by the agency at hazardous waste sites. These modules will be used to determine knowledge improvements, attitude shifts, and behavior change following specific ATSDR program efforts and activities.

In addition, the timing of the data collection will vary depending on whether this is a new site or one that has been underway for some time. In general, for new sites or existing sites with new intervention efforts, we would aim for two data collections, baseline and post-intervention. At existing sites where ATSDR interventions have been completed, we would collect data once, post-intervention. Health education and promotion activities are conducted at approximately 250 sites annually. We estimate that 90% will have total exposed or potentially exposed populations of 10,000 or less, and we expect to survey up to 150 respondents at each site. At sites with exposed or potentially exposed populations of more than 10,000, we expect to survey up to 500 respondents at each site. Using a standardized methodology and survey instrument to assess outcomes related to targeted intervention activities at hazardous waste sites will provide the agency with important feedback for program improvement. There will be no costs to respondents except for their time to participate in the survey. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 27,250.
