Several National Institutes of Health
(NIH) data repositories require applicants to complete a data
access request form, generally consisting of an abbreviated
Standard Form 424 and a data use certification. The use of this
previously OMB-approved information collection form was an
expedient measure to jumpstart the use of these databases. The
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recently received
OMB-approval for use of the National Database for Autism Research
(NDAR) Data Use Certification Form (Title: NDAR Data Access
Request; OMB Control Number: 0925-0667; Expiration Date:
01/31/2016). 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.
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).
