    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.
    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 is 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.
