Abstract: This is a Revision of an approved collection, OMB Control #0925-0177. A single Form NIH-590 is completed by an NIH official for each Guest Researcher or Special Volunteer prior to his/her arrival at NIH. The information on the form is necessary for the approving official to reach a decision on whether to allow a Guest Researcher to use NIH facilities, or whether to accept volunteer services offered by a Special Volunteer. If the original assignment is extended, another form notating the extension is completed to update the file. The DHHS Office of General Counsel, in consultation with the Department of Justice, now requires that revisions be made to items 7 and 8 of the Special Volunteer Agreement. Attachment 2 is the revised form we propose to replace the current form with.
