CDC estimates the average public reporting burden for this collection of information as 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data/information sources, gathering and maintaining the data/information needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0923-0041).









Funding source and any declared (to the IRB) financial conflicts of interest:

Declared conflict of interest: For each investigator please list any financial conflicts of interest declared to the IRB.





Summary of Proposed Study Protocol or Project Activities:

Provide a brief summary of your proposed study or project activities. Provide sufficient detail to describe your study or project. If you are requesting data and/or biospecimens or tissues obtained from the National ALS Registry describe how they will be used. Include in this summary the ALS study population in which you are interested, describe the benefit of this study to the community or individuals involved, demonstrate an understanding of the scientific merit of your proposed study, include a description of the hypothesis to be tested and some background information to support why the study or project is being proposed, and include a brief description of your proposed methods and analytic plan. (The summary should be limited to 7000 characters.)

Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects:

(As defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 45,

Part 46): Evidence of a current IRB approval is required prior to the ATSDR contacting ALS registrants.

Please provide the following information on the IRB to review this project outside of ATSDR:

Name and address of the IRB:



IRB Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) number:

Shape12 Shape11 Does this study have current approval from this IRB? Yes No

If Yes, Date of the IRB approval (mm/dd/yyyy):



Please provide a lay summary of not more than 250 words that describes the purpose of your research, what information you hope to obtain, who can participate, number of participants, and what participants must do to take part including time commitment. Remember the average high school graduate reads at the 8th grade level so use simple declarative sentences and avoid scientific jargon.



























Researcher Agreement

Name of Institution: ____________________________________________________________

Part A - Research Notification

Will any of the information (obtained from the National ALS Registry, or from the request for ATSDR to inform ALS registrants about the proposed study) be used as a basis for legal, administrative, or other actions which may directly affect particular individuals or establishments as a result of their specific identification in this project?

Shape15 Shape14 Shape13 Yes No Maybe

If Yes or Maybe, please explain:



Will any of the information (obtained from the National ALS Registry, or from the request for ATSDR to inform ALS registrants about the proposed study) be used as a basis for marketing purposes, including, but not limited to, marketing of pharmaceutical drugs?

Shape18 Shape17 Shape16 Yes No Maybe

If Yes or Maybe, please explain:



The following variables are available for all registrants and can be used to prescreen registrants for notification about your study. Please indicate which variables you would like us to use and specific criteria.

Specific Age Range at Diagnosis (e.g. 40-50, 50-60, 60-75):


Specific year/years of diagnosis (e.g. 2012 - current):


Specific Sex (e.g. female only, male only):


City and / or State(s) of residence or region of the United States (e.g. Los Angeles, CA, Dallas, TX, State of Arizona, State of Georgia and Florida):



*Additional variables are available on a subset of the population, such as registrants with a history of military service, smoking / alcohol consumption or specific ALSFRS score. If you wish to use these as eligibility requirements, please contact the ALS Research Notification System Administrator.

Shape19

I do not want to prescreen for eligibility (e.g. I want to have research materials sent to all participants taking part in the notification process.).

* Requests to have ATSDR identify additional variables for eligible participant(s) may delay the distribution of research materials. If you have questions or concerns about the application process or status of your application, please contact the ALS Research Notification System Administrator at 877-442-9719 (Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm ET). You may also send us an email at [email protected].



ATSDR kindly requests that researchers include the following acknowledgement in any publications deriving from the study:

“Recruitment for this study was in part made possible by ATSDR's National ALS Registry Research Notification Mechanism (http://wwwn.cdc.gov/ALS/ALSClinicalResearch.aspx)” and that they forward such publications to ATSDR ([email protected]).
