Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Recruitment Milestone Reporting System
Document Number: 2015-25941
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-10-13
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health
Under the provisions of section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on June 1, 2015, page 31053, and allowed 60-days for public comment. Four (4) public comments were received. Comments include concerns about the clarity of the announcement, the utility of the information collected, and the frequency of tri-annual and monthly reporting. NIMH carefully considered all comments received and has changed the language in the supporting statement to confirm that reporting of recruitment milestones in the RMR applies to participants in all extramural NIMH- sponsored clinical trials, regardless of size, as well as other clinical research studies that plan to enroll 150 or more human subjects in a single study. Investigators who fail to meet their milestones may be requested to submit interim monthly reports. NIMH has determined tri-annual reporting to be the minimum necessary to provide effective recruitment monitoring. When studies fall significantly behind their recruitment goals, monthly reporting is necessary in order to ensure the study can be completed within the proposed budget and timeframe. Based on current study performance, NIMH expects less than 5% of respondents will require monthly reporting. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
