In response to this, NCI DCCPS is developing a biospecimen inventory and online searchable catalog (or ‘‘Population Sciences Biospecimen Catalog (PSBC)’’). The PSBC allows scientists in the research community and the NCI to locate specimens appropriate for their population based research projects. It is not NCI’s intent to collect biospecimens; rather the collections are descriptions of the available data that can act as a resource and be shared with researchers and scientists who are interested. This submission is via data upload to the secure Web site in order to collect information to manage and improve a program and its resources for the use by all scientists. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 80.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a blood disorder that affects thousands of people in the United States and Brazil. Many patients with SCD need to be chronically transfused with red blood cells and the REDS–III research program has established in Brazil a cohort of patients with SCD to study transfusion outcomes and infectious diseases such as HIV in the SCD population. Sickle cell disease predominantly affects persons with sub-Saharan Africa and other malaria-endemic regions ancestry because people who carry one sickle cell disease gene (you need 2 to have sickle cell disease) have a survival advantage for malaria. Sub-Saharan Africa, where most people with SCD in the world live, remains one of the regions most severely affected by HIV, with nearly 1 in every 20 adults living with the virus. In the United States, HIV also disproportionately affects persons with African ancestry. Despite the diseases’ occurrence in similar populations and the fact that both HIV and SCD are independent predictors of outcomes such as stroke, there is a lack of data to evaluate if patients with SCD and HIV have different illnesses than patients who have SCD- or HIV-only.
