Proposed Collection; Comment Request; NIH NCI Central
Institutional Review Board (CIRB) Initiative (NCI)
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 Cancer Institute
(NCI), 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.
Proposed Collection: Title: NIH NCI Central Institutional Review
Board (CIRB). Type of Information Collection Request: Existing
Collection in Use Without an OMB Number. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The CIRB was created to reduce the administrative burden on
local IRBs and investigators while protecting human research
participants. To accomplish this, the CIRB uses several information
collection tools to ensure that CIRB operations occur with high level
of reviewer and board member satisfaction and is absent of conflicts of
interest with the protocols under review. Tools utilized to accomplish
this include the new member packets which are completed once a new
member joins the CIRB to provide background information on workflow and
processes of CIRB operations as well as a non-disclosure agreement. A
conflict of interest form is completed occasionally or each time the
reviewer is requested to serve as a reviewer for a study. CIRB helpdesk
surveys measure satisfaction of helpdesk users and is conducted
occasionally or each time the person contacts the helpdesk. Frequency
of Response: Once, except for the SAE Reviewer Worksheet. Affected
Public: Includes the Federal Government, business or other for-profits
and not-for-profit institutions. Type of Respondents: Respondents
include any customer who contacts the CIRB Helpdesk, institutional
review board members and CIRB review participants. The annual reporting
burden is estimated at 2221 hours (see Table below for the estimated
time burden). The average annual cost to the government over a 12 month
period is approximately $153,574 per year for a six year contract. This
includes total annualized capital/start up costs of $25,108 and
operating costs of $150,637.
