Subject: Continuation of Protocol #2015-12 National Survey of Family Growth, Sept 2015 – Sept 2019
The NCHS Research Ethics Review Board reviewed the request for continuation of Protocol #2015-12
National Survey of Family Growth, Sept 2015 – Sept 2019 at the July 19, 2017 convened Board meeting, 
using the review process based on 45 CFR 46. Protocol #2015-12 is approved for the maximum
allowable period of one year.
ERB approval of protocol #2015-12 will expire on 07/22/18.
If it is necessary to continue the study beyond the expiration date, a request for continuation approval
should be submitted about 6 weeks prior to 07/22/18.
There is no grace period beyond one year from the last approval date. In order to avoid lapses in
approval of your research and the possible suspension of subject enrollment, please submit your
continuation request at least six (6) weeks before the protocol's expiration date of 07/22/18. It is
your responsibility to submit your research protocol for continuing review.
Any problems of a serious nature resulting from implementation of these changes should be brought to
the attention of the Research ERB, and any additional proposed changes should be submitted for IRB
approval before they are implemented.
Please submit "clean" copies of the revised protocol, consent forms, and any other revised materials to
this office for the official protocol file.
