Proposed Collection: National
Institute of Health Neurobiobank Tissue
Access Request—Existing without OMB
Clearance—National Institute of Mental
Health (NIMH), National Institute of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: NIMH is seeking OMB
approval for two Neurobiobank data
collections: (1) Pre-Mortem Donor
Recruitment Form, and (2) Tissue
Access Request Form. The pre-mortem
donor form will collect information
from potential donors to ensure and
enable appropriate research use of the
tissues and biospecimens. Knowledge
about the health history surrounding a
particular tissue or biospecimen is
essential to ethical scientific research
conducted upon it. The tissue access
request form will collect information
from researchers who wish to gain
access to the tissue stored throughout
the Neurobiobank network, The NIH
Neurobiobank Tissue Access Request
form is necessary to verify that the
researcher ‘‘Recipient’’ Principal
Investigators and their organization or
corporations applying to use the tissue
is qualified to conduct human tissue
research and have approved assurance
from the DHHS Office of Human
Research Protections to access tissue or
biospecimens from the National
Neurobiobank for research purposes.
The primary use of this information is
to document, track, monitor, and
evaluate the appropriate use of the
Neurobiobank tissue and biospecimen
resources, as well as to notify interested
recipients of updates, corrections, or
other changes to the system.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
38.
