ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the availability of stored serum, plasma, and urine samples obtained from participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the proposal parameters and fee schedule for use. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is one of a series of health-related surveys conducted by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). SUMMARY: The stored NHANES biologic samples are available August 12, 2021. The fee structure for these samples is effective August 12, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Stierman, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3311 Toledo Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782. Telephone: (301) 458–4798. Email: Serumplasmaurine@cdc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHANES is a program of periodic surveys conducted by NCHS. Examination surveys conducted since 1960 by NCHS have provided national estimates of the health and nutritional status of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population. The goals of NHANES are: (1) To estimate the number and percent of persons in the U.S. population and designated subgroups with selected diseases and risk factors; (2) to monitor trends in the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of selected diseases; (3) to monitor trends in risk behaviors and environmental exposures; (4) to analyze risk factors for selected diseases; (5) to study the relationship between diet, nutrition and health; (6) to explore emerging public health issues and new technologies; and (7) to establish and maintain a national probability sample of baseline information on health and nutrition status. For NHANES cycles prior to the 2021–22 cycle, the survey oversamples the two largest race/ethnicity groups, non-Hispanic black and Mexican American (and all Hispanic since 2007– 08). In 2011–2020, NHANES also oversampled the Asian race/ethnicity group. DATES: Sample Availability Samples are available from NHANES III, a periodic survey that was conducted from 1988–1994 (see: https:// wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/nhanes3/ default.aspx for more information on NHANES III), and the continuous NHANES, with data release in two-year 44367 cycles starting in 1999–2000 through the 2019-March 2020 (Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) pre-pandemic) (Table A) collection. NCHS is making both collections available for study proposals. Approximately 30,000 individuals were examined in NHANES III, which began in the fall of 1988, and ended in the fall of 1994. Investigators can analyze samples from this survey in two phases. Phase 1 was conducted from October 1988 to October 1991 and Phase 2 began October 1991 and ended October 1994. Beginning in 1999, NHANES became a continuous, annual survey with examination of approximately 5,000 individuals a year and data release every two years. Samples from a single year of the survey will only be provided in emergency situations (outbreaks). Projects must use two-year cycles or multiple two-year cycles for their studies (i.e., 1999–2000, 2001–2002 etc.). Serum, plasma, and urine samples are stored in two biorepositories. Samples that were initially used for laboratory assays included in the surveys, that were stored at ¥70°C and that have been through at least two freeze-thaw cycles, are considered surplus samples. They are stored at a commercial biorepository under contract to NCHS. In addition, another set of serum, plasma, and urine samples were also stored immediately after collection at ¥80°C or below in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen. These samples have not undergone a freeze-thaw cycle and are considered pristine samples. The CDC Biorepository (CBR) is the long-term repository for the pristine NHANES serum, plasma, and urine samples. NCHS is making both pristine and surplus collections available for study proposals. Please see the NHANES Biospecimen Program series report for details about collection and storage of serum, plasma, and urine samples https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_ 02/sr02_170.pdf.
