This 0925-0001 revision submission consolidates application and other related pre-award reporting requirements previously collected under 0925-0001. Oversight systems and tools are critical for the NIH to ensure participant safety, data integrity, and accountability of the use of public funds. The NIH has been engaged in a multi-year effort to examine how clinical trials are supported and the level of oversight needed. The collection of more structured information about proposed clinical trials in the PHS applications and pre-award reporting requirements will facilitate the NIH's oversight of clinical trials as well as assist in understanding where needs in the NIH research portfolio may exist. In addition, some of the data collected here will ultimately be accessible to investigators to pre-populate certain sections of forms when registering their trials with ClinicalTrials.gov.

This increase is largely due to the addition of a new PHS Human Subjects and Clinical Trial Information form, as well as a recalculation of burden hour estimates on the following forms: PHS 398 Research Plan, PHS 398 Research Training Program Plan, and PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental Form.
