We request 32,026 additional hours for National Children’s Study Formative Generic Clearance that were approved by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) on June 12, 2008. The additional hours will enable the Study to conduct formative research projects in several fundamental research areas that will inform the development of the Main Study, which aims to launch in 2012.

For your consideration, please see the attached burden table, which summarizes 69 of these formative research projects that we have determined are ready for submission to OIRA during the clearance period. This listing includes the project name, participating institution, number of responses, and burden hours.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
