Proposed Collection: The National Institute of Mental Health Data Access Request and Use Certification (previously National Database for Autism Research Data Access Request), 0925-0667, Revision, Expiration Date: 01/31/2016; NIMH, NIH.
Need and Use of Information Collection: NIMH recently received OMB approval for use of the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) Data Use Certification (DUC) Form. NIMH is interested in renaming this form the “NIMH Data Access Request and Use Certification (DUC) Form” and using it to meet the unique data access needs of all NIMH data repositories. The NIMH DUC form is necessary for “Recipient” Principal Investigators and their organization or corporations with approved assurance from the DHHS Office of Human Research Protections to access data or images from NIMH repositories and datasets for research purposes. The primary use of this information is to document, track, monitor, and evaluate the use of the NIMH repositories/datasets, as well as to notify interested recipients of updates, corrections or other changes to the database. There are currently three data repositories/sets positioned to use the NIMH DUC form: NDAR, the NIH Pediatric MRI Data Repository (PedsMRI), and the NIMH Clinical Research Datasets (NCRD).
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 380.
Estimated Annualized Burden Hours

---|---|---|---|---|---|
NIMH Data Access Request and Use Certification | Principal Investigators/Research Assistant | 240 | 1 | 95/60 | 380 |
