SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This proposed information collection was previously published in the

Federal Register

Proposed Collection Title

Generic Clearance for National Cancer Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms, 0925-0775, Expiration Date 06/30/2025, REINSTATEMENT WITH CHANGE, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection:

This is a request for OMB to approve the revision of the collection titled “Generic Clearance for National Cancer Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms” for an additional three years of data collection. In preparation for dissemination and sharing of data sets, forms requesting or applying for access, upload, share, and store data will be needed. The purpose of data sharing allows data generated from one research study to be used to answer questions beyond the original study. It reinforces open scientific inquiry, encourages diversity of analysis, supports studies on data collection methods and measurement, facilitates the education of new researchers, and enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators. Biomedical researchers and data scientists can use the NCI cloud resources, web interface, and computational workspaces to query, submit data, analyze, and visualize data. The forms would be used to register a scientist's research data, apply for data storage, and submit a request to access and use the data. In addition to these forms, forms related to metadata information (

i.e.,

related to the collection of the research data; how the data was collected) would be collected for some research. This revision is updated to include a newer version of one of the Data Submission Request Forms.

OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 5,775 hours.
