Submission for OMB Review; 30-day 

Comment Request; National Institute 

of Health Neurobiobank Tissue Access 

Request 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the 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 February 13, 

2014, page 8723 and allowed 60-days 

for public comment. No public 

comments were received. The purpose 

of this notice is to allow an additional 

30 days for public comment. The 

National Institute of Mental Health 

(NIMH), 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. 

Direct Comments to OMB: Written 

comments and/or suggestions regarding 

the item(s) contained in this notice, 

especially regarding the estimated 

public burden and associated response 

time, should be directed to the: Office 

of Management and Budget, Office of 

Regulatory Affairs, OIRA_submission@

omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974, 

Attention: NIH Desk Officer. 

Comment Due Date: Comments 

regarding this information collection are 

best assured of having their full effect if 

received within 30-days of the date of 

this publication.

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.

Proposed Collection: Identifying 

Experts in Prevention Science Methods 

to Include on NIH Review Panels, 

0925—New, Office of Disease 

Prevention (ODP), National Institutes of 

Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The Office of Disease 

Prevention (ODP) is the lead Office at 

the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 

responsible for assessing, facilitating, 

and stimulating research in disease 

prevention and health promotion, and 

disseminating the results of this 

research to improve public health. 

Prevention is preferable to treatment, 

and research on disease prevention is an 

important part of the NIH’s mission. The 

knowledge gained from this research 

leads to stronger clinical practice, health 

policy, and community health 

programs. ODP collaborates with the 

NIH, other Department of Health and 

Human Services (DHHS) agencies, and 

other public and private partners to 

achieve the Office’s mission and goals. 

One of our priorities is to promote the 

use of the best available methods in 

prevention research and support the 

development of better methods. One of 

our strategies is to help the Center for 

Scientific Review (CSR) identify experts 

in prevention science methods to 

include on their review panels. This 

will strengthen the panels and improve 

the quality of the prevention research 

supported by the NIH. To identify 

experts in prevention science methods, 

we worked with our contractor, IQ 

Solutions, Inc., to develop online 

software which will allow us to collect 

scientists’ names, contact information, 

and resumes, as well as to have those 

scientists identify their level of 

expertise in a variety of prevention 

science methods and content areas. The
