Abstract: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), created the NIH Neurobiobank (NBB), a centralized program to coordinate the acquisition, receipt, storage and dissemination of human brains, related biospecimens, and associated clinical data, via a federation of several contracted brain and tissue repository sites. The goal of this project is to increase the availability of, and access to, high quality specimens for research in order to understand the neurological bases of diseases and mental disorders.

Short Statement: There have been changes to the information collected by the NBB Tissue Access Request Form (Attachment 1). Based upon a review of the past response rate, NIMH has updated the number of estimated respondents to 400 from 225. Given the further streamlining of the form, NIMH estimates the form will take only 15 minutes to complete. The “Requestor Information” portion of the request form now asks for the name and email address for the Principal Investigator if that individual is not the requestor. The “Research Funding Information” portion of the request form has been streamlined for the requestors. Additionally, this portion of the request form now asks if the researched related to the request is supported by funding from the NIH. If the funding is NIH-related, the requestor must provide information on whether the funding is extramural or intramural, which IC it is affiliated with, and the six-digit project serial number.
