Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; A Generic Clearance
for the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD) Data and Specimen Hub (DASH)
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 NICHD, the 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 to address 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) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) 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

Proposed Collection: Data and Specimen Hub (DASH), 0925--NEW,
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The NICHD Data and Specimen
Hub (DASH) is being established by NICHD as a data sharing mechanism
for biomedical research investigators. It will serve as a centralized
resource for investigators to store and access de-identified data from
studies funded by NICHD. The potential for public benefit to be
achieved through sharing research study data for secondary analysis is
significant. NICHD DASH supports NICHD's mission to ensure that every
person is born healthy and wanted, that women suffer no harmful effects
from reproductive processes, and that all children have the chance to
achieve their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free
from disease or disability, and to ensure the health, productivity,
independence, and well-being of all people through optimal
rehabilitation. Data sharing and reuse will promote testing of new
hypotheses from data already collected, facilitate trans-disciplinary
collaboration, accelerate scientific findings and enable NICHD to
maximize the return on its investments in research.
Anyone can access NICHD DASH to browse and view descriptive
information about the studies and data archived in NICHD DASH without
creating an account. Users who wish to submit or request research study
data must register for an account.
[[Page 66914]]
Information will be collected from those wishing to create an
account, sufficient to identify them as unique Users. Those submitting
or requesting data will be required to provide additional supporting
information to ensure proper use and security of NICHD DASH data. The
information collected are limited to the essential data required to
ensure that the management of Users in NICHD DASH is efficient and the
sharing of data among investigators is effective. The primary uses of
the information collected from Users by NICHD will be to:
Communicate with the Users with regards to their data
submission or requests
Monitor data submissions and data requests
Notify interested recipients of updates to data stored in
NICHD DASH
Help NICHD understand the use of NICHD DASH data by the
research community
There is no plan to publish the data collected under this request.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 142.
