Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Researcher Responsibilities
Form, OMB Number 0720–0042.
Needs and Uses: This collection
instrument serves to document
researcher’s understanding and
acceptance of the regulatory and ethical
responsibilities for including humans as
subjects in research. Principal and coprincipal investigators must have the
proposed, signed form on file before
they may engage in research conducted,
sponsored, or supported by entities
under the purview of the USD(P&R).
Affected Public: Federal Government,
For-profit Businesses; Not-for-profit
Businesses.
Annual Burden Hours: 44.5.
Number of Respondents: 89.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: .50.
Frequency: On occasion; original
document submitted one time per
researcher. Once their document is on
file, a researcher may reaffirm their
commitment every three years
electronically if they remain engaged in
human subject research.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Federal Government institutions
wishing to conduct, sponsor, or support
research on human subjects must first
submit for approval to duly designated
authorities an Assurance that they will
comply with established guidelines in
such research. Such Assurances are
granted by components of DoD and by
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS). DoD guidance requires
principal and associate investigators
individually and explicitly to
acknowledge that they understand and
accept responsibility for protecting the
rights and welfare of human research
subjects. All principal and associate
investigators engaged in research
supported or conducted under the
purview of the USD(P&R) must read and
sign a document that attests to their
commitment to abide by the provisions
of: (a) The Belmont Report: Ethical
Principles and Guidelines for the
Protection of Human Subjects of
Research; (b) the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) regulations for the
protection of human subjects at Title 32,
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 219
(32 CFR 219) and DoD Directive
3216.02; (c) the Assurance of the
engaged institution; relevant
institutional policies and procedures
where appropriate; and other Federal,
State, or local regulations where
appropriate. The Office of the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
announces the intent to establish and
use a new document format for this
purpose and seeks public comment on
the provisions thereof. Respondents are
professionals who have been designated
as principal or associate investigators.
When preparing to initiate work on their
first human subject research protocol,
each principal investigator and associate
investigator must assure they have the
proposed Researcher Responsibilities
form on file with the OUSD(P&R)
Component Designated Official Office.
This may require new forms from
approximately 90 investigators. The
form is two pages in length including
statements agreed to and half a page for
respondent signature and contact
information. Respondents generally will
be required to have the signed form
scanned and forwarded electronically.
The form will be filed electronically and
form completion will be logged into a
database. After three years, if a
researcher still is engaged in research
with OUSD(P&R), he/she will be asked
to reaffirm his/her commitment
electronically. This information
collection does not involve sensitive
personal information and requires no
special confidentiality measures.
