National Institutes of Health
Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Application for
Collaboration With the Therapeutic Development Branch (TDB), Division
of Preclinical Innovation (DPI), National Center for Advancing
Translational Sciences (NCATS)
Summary: In compliance with the requirement of Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity
for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National
Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing,
or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Dr. Nora
Yang, Therapeutic Development Branch, DPI, NCATS, NIH, 9800 Medical
Center Drive, Building B, Rockville, MD 20850, or call non-toll-free
number (301) 217-1077, or Email your request, including your address
to: [email protected]. Formal requests for additional plans and
[[Page 69500]]
instruments must be requested in writing.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days
of the date of this publication.
Proposed Collection: Application for Collaboration with the
Therapeutic Development Branch (TDB), Division of Preclinical
Innovation (DPI), National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences
(NCATS), 0925-0658, Expiration Date 06/30/2015--EXTENSION, National
Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Therapeutic Development
Branch (TDB) provides opportunities to partner with and gain access to
a variety of programs delivering assay development, screening, hit-to-
lead chemistry, lead optimization, chemical biology studies, drug
development capabilities, expertise, and clinical/regulatory resources
in a collaborative environment, with the goal of moving promising
therapeutics into human clinical trials for both common and
specifically rare and/or neglected diseases. The TDB uses an
application and evaluation process to select collaborators. Selected
investigators provide the drug project starting points and ongoing
biological/disease expertise throughout the project. The application
and evaluation process is necessary to determine amount and quality of
current data, select meritorious projects for adoption, and to serve as
a basis for determining specific scientific gaps to be filled.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden
hours are 510.
