SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the NIH has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for review
and approval of the information
collection listed below.
Proposed Collection: Public Health
Service (PHS) Applications and Preaward Reporting Requirements.
Revision, OMB 0925–0001, Expiration
Date 3/31/2020. Form numbers: PHS
398, PHS416–1, 416–5, and PHS 6031.
This collection represents a
consolidation of PHS applications and
pre-award reporting requirements into a
revised data collection under the PRA.
This collection includes the proposed
use of a new PHS Human Subjects and
Clinical Trial Information form.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: NIH has received approval to
require applicants and recipients to
address Human Fetal Tissue
requirements within the SF–424 R&R
and the Research Performance Progress
Report due to Congressional ((Sections
498A and 498B of the PHS Act (42
U.S.C. 289g–1 and 289g–2)) and
Department of Health and Human
Services (45 CFR 46.204 and 46.206)
mandates regarding human fetal tissue
research. Applicants and recipients will
be required to comply with Federal and
state laws concerning the acquisition of
human fetal tissue (including cell lines)
obtained from elective abortions as well
as include a description of the proposed
characteristics of the human fetal cells/
tissue outlining the procurement budget
details, and how the applicants/
recipients will document the processes
for how they will use the human fetal
tissues and cells. Additionally, this
revision will clarify information
regarding an institutional commitment
to ensuring that proper policies,
procedures, and oversight are in place to

prevent discriminatory harassment and
other discriminatory practices.
This collection also continues to
include PHS applications and pre-award
reporting requirements: PHS 398 (paper)
Public Health Service Grant Application
forms and instructions; PHS 398
(electronic) PHS Grant Application
component forms and agency specific
instructions used in combination with
the SF424 (R&R); PHS Fellowship
Supplemental Form and agency specific
instructions used in combination with
the SF424 (R&R) forms/instructions for
Fellowships [electronic]; PHS 416–1
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research

Fellowship Application Instructions
and Forms used only for a change of
sponsoring institution application
(paper); Instructions for a Change of
Sponsoring Institution for NRSA
Fellowships (F30, F31, F32 and F33)
and non-NRSA Fellowships; PHS 416–
5 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research
Service Award Individual Fellowship
Activation Notice; and PHS 6031
Payback Agreement. The PHS 398
(paper and electronic), PHS 416–1, 416–
5, and PHS 6031 are currently approved
under 0925–0001. All forms expire 10/

31/2018. Post-award reporting
requirements are simultaneously
consolidated under 0925–0002, and
include the Research Performance
Progress Report (RPPR). The PHS 398
and SF424 applications are used by
applicants to request federal assistance
funds for traditional investigatorinitiated research projects and to request
access to databases and other PHS
resources. The PHS 416–1 is used only
for a change of sponsoring institution
application. PHS Fellowship
Supplemental Form and agency specific
instructions is used in combination with
the SF424 (R&R) forms/instructions for
Fellowships and is used by individuals
to apply for direct research training
support. Awards are made to individual
applicants for specified training
proposals in biomedical and behavioral
research, selected as a result of a
national competition. The PHS 416–5 is
used by individuals to indicate the start
of their NRSA awards. The PHS 6031
Payback Agreement is used by
individuals at the time of activation to
certify agreement to fulfill the payback
provisions. The Venture Capital
Operating Companies (VCOC)
Certification and the Small Business

Innovation Research and Small Business
Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR)
Funding Agreement Certifications are
used by small business applicants.
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.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
2,150,389.
