*10. Provide an overview of the system: |
The CTSA Initiative is directed at transforming the way biomedical research is conducted nationwide by reducing the time it takes for basic science or laboratory discoveries to become treatments for patients, and for those treatments in turn to be incorporated and disseminated throughout community practice. The CTSA-SMS will include a variety of data to support an evaluation of the first four cohorts of CTSA awardee institutions and the CTSA Consortium. The system stores, processes, and transmits all information related to the study including data submitted by awardees in Non-Competing Continuation Progress Reports (PHS 2590), surveys and responses, staff and agency contact information, study data and reports, and other electronic and hardcopy information. |
*13. Indicate if the system is new or an existing one being modified: |
New |
*17. Does/Will the system collect, maintain (store), disseminate and/or pass through PII within any database(s), record(s), file(s) or website(s) hosted by this system? |
Note: This question seeks to identify any, and all, personal information associated with the system. This includes any PII, whether or not it is subject to the Privacy Act, whether the individuals are employees, the public, research subjects, or business partners, and whether provided voluntarily or collected by mandate. Later questions will try to understand the character of the data and its applicability to the requirements under the Privacy Act or other legislation. If the information contained in the system ONLY represents federal contact data (i.e., federal contact name, federal address, federal phone number, and federal email address), it does not qualify as PII, according to the E-Government Act of 2002, and the response to Q.17 should be No (only the PIA Summary is required). If the system contains a mixture of federal contact information and other types of PII, the response to Q.17 should be Yes (full PIA is required). |
Yes |
17a. Is this a GSS PIA included for C&A purposes only, with no ownership of underlying application data? If the response to Q.17a is Yes, the response to Q.17 should be No and only the PIA Summary must be completed. |
No |
*19. Are records on the system retrieved by 1 or more PII data elements? |
Yes |
*21. Is the system subject to the Privacy Act? (If the response to Q.19 is Yes, the response to Q.21 must be Yes and a SORN number is required for Q.4) |
Yes |
*23. If the system shares or discloses PII, please specify with whom and for what purpose(s): |
The information contained in this system will not be shared. Only summary information at aggregate levels will be provided. Information stored in the system may be shared in accordance with the guidance in System of Records Notice 09-25-0200. |
*30. Please describe in detail: (1) The information the agency will collect, maintain, or disseminate (clearly state if the information contained in the system ONLY represents federal contact data); (2) Why and for what purpose the agency will use the information; (3) Explicitly indicate whether the information contains PII; and (4) Whether submission of personal information is voluntary or mandatory: |
The CTSA-SMS collects and maintains a variety of information types. Data submitted to NIH in award applications, Non-Competing Continuation Progress Reports (PHS 2590), and other routine award reporting include award numbers, names, professional email addresses, telephone contact information, and NIH commons ID and person ID. In addition to the identifying information used to locate and contact survey participants, the system will store, process, and transmit basic data respondents volunteer regarding employment, education, and demographics. Information in the CTSA-SMS will be used to provide analytical and policy support to NCRR, assisting NIH in making decisions about current CTSA programming, future funding, and other initiatives to improve clinical and translational science. It may also provide information for NIH’s Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) report. At least one journal article based on the findings will be developed and submitted for publication. Disclosure of personal information is voluntary. |
*31. Please describe in detail any processes in place to: (1) Notify and obtain consent from the individuals whose PII is in the system when major changes occur to the system (e.g., disclosure and/or data uses have changed since the notice at the time of the original collection); (2) Notify and obtain consent from individuals regarding what PII is being collected from them; and (3) How the information will be used or shared. (Note: Please describe in what format individuals will be given notice of consent [e.g., written notice, electronic notice, etc.]): |
The CTSA-SMS will be used only to collect survey data, analyze data, and produce reports for the CTSA evaluation study. The CTSA-SMS will be retired upon conclusion of the study. No major changes to the CTSA-SMS affecting disclosure and/or data use are anticipated. In the unlikely event of future major change to the CTSA-SMS affecting status or use of personally identifiable information (PII), privacy notice of consent is provided in writing or via email to affected individuals. Notification and consent from individuals for collection of PII is provided in the survey: “Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to an information collection unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 0348-XXXX.” Each survey is preceded by a message to the individual which specifies why the information is being collected and how it will be used (i.e., The NIH leadership is interested in learning more about the use of CTSA resources.) |
*32. Does the system host a website? (Note: If the system hosts a website, the Website Hosting Practices section is required to be completed regardless of the presence of PII) |
Yes |
*37. Does the website have any information or pages directed at children under the age of thirteen? |
No |
*50. Are there policies or guidelines in place with regard to the retention and destruction of PII? (Refer to the C&A package and/or the Records Retention and Destruction section in SORN) |
Yes |
*54. Briefly describe in detail how the PII will be secured on the system using administrative, technical, and physical controls: |
Information will be secured on the system through access controls, personnel security awareness and training, regular auditing of information and information management processes, careful monitoring of a properly accredited CTSA-SMS information system, control of changes to the system, by appropriate planning and testing of configuration management and contingency processes, by ensuring that all users of the CTSA-SMS are properly identified and authorized for access and are aware of and acknowledge the system rules of behavior, by ensuring that any contingency or incident is handled expeditiously, properly maintaining the system and regulating the environment it operates in, by controlling media, by evaluating risks and planning for information management and information system operations, by ensuring that the system and any exchange of information is protected, by maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the CTSA-SMS, and by adhering to the requirements established in the contract and statement of work. |
PIA REQUIRE INFORMATION |
