Sample
collection, processing, and storage
procedures have the potential to affect
assay results for basic research,
biomarker discovery, biomarker
validation, and development of
validated assays. Variability in these
procedures may also decrease data rigor,
thereby increasing the likelihood of
irreproducible data, incorrect
conclusions, and delays in advancing
scientific knowledge.
Recent genetic studies have provided
compelling evidence in support of the
long-held hypothesis that alterations in
immune function are associated with
the pathophysiology of mental illnesses.
Abnormal blood levels of cytokines
have been reported in schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder and major depressive
illness. However, our understanding of
the role of immune system markers in
mental illnesses has not advanced due
in part to between-study heterogeneity
in immune assay methodology,
diagnosis criteria, severity of disease,
number and age of samples, and other
potential confounds (e.g., medication,
comorbidities) (Goldsmith, DR et al.,
Mol. Psychiatry, 23 February 2016;
doi:10.1038/mp.2016.3).
The creation of an agreed upon,
standard panel of pro- and antiinflammatory markers, along with
adoption of a standard approach for
sample collection and handling, would
be a valuable resource for evaluation of
inflammatory processes in mental
illnesses.
This request for information (RFI)
seeks information from the community
about the availability, quality, and
degree of clinical characterization of
plasma and CSF samples that could
potentially be used for assessing the
technical performance of a panel of
inflammatory markers and the utility of
the panel for sub-typing individuals and
tracking disease progression in
individuals with mental illness.
The NIMH seeks information on the
following:
1. Source and number of samples
available for each disorder and for
healthy controls. Include the number of
plasma samples and the number of CSF
samples available, and whether both
plasma and CSF samples are available
from the same individuals.
2. SOPs used for sample collection
and storage

RFI may be reflected in future funding
opportunity announcements. The
information provided will be analyzed
and may be aggregated in reports.

Need and Use of Information
Collection: This collection of data is
intended to assist in the reunification of
family members and friends who are
separated during a disaster. Experience
in operational drills and during realworld disasters such as the January 2010
earthquakes in Haiti demonstrates that
family members and loved ones are
often separated during disasters and
have significant difficulty determining
each other’s safety, condition, and
location. Reunification can not only
improve their emotional well-being
during the recovery period, but also
improve the chances that injured
victims will be cared for once they are
released from urgent medical care.
Family and friends are also a valuable
source of medical information that may
be important to the care of injured
victims (e.g., by providing family or
personal medical history, information
about allergies). The National Library of
Medicine (NLM) aims to assist Federal,
State and Local agencies in disaster
relief efforts and to serve its mission of
supporting national efforts to the
response to disasters via the PEOPLE
LOCATOR® system and related mobile
app (ReUniteTM) developed as part of
the intramural Lost Person Finder (LPF)
R&D project. The information collection
would support efforts to reunite family
and friends who are separated during a

disaster. Information about missing
(‘‘lost’’) people would be collected from
family members or loved ones who are
searching for them. Information about
recovered (‘‘found’’) people could be
provided by medical personnel,
volunteers and other relief workers
assisting in the disaster recovery effort.
Information collected about missing and
recovered persons would vary including
any one of the following and possibly
all: A photograph, name (if available for
a found person), age group (child, adult)
and/or range, gender, status (alive and
well, injured, deceased, unknown), and
location. The information collection
would be voluntary. It would be
activated only during times of declared
emergencies, training and
demonstration support activities, and
would operate in declared emergencies
until relief efforts have ceased in
response to a particular disaster. This
data collection is authorized pursuant to
sections 301, 307, 465 and 478A of the
Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C.
241, 242, 286 and 286d]. NLM has in its
mission the development and
coordination of communication
technology to improve the delivery of
health services.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
7,500.
