This application for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) NeuroBioBank Tissue Access Request Form and Progress Report Form is a revision to the Neurobiobank Tissue Access Request (NBB) application, which OMB approved in 2021. When unraveling the complexities of neurological, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders, there is no substitute for studying human brain tissue. Brain donation is critically important, now more than ever. The more brain tissue available for research, the faster science can advance toward a better understanding of how to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure disorders of the human brain. In order to meet this need, three NIH institutes came together to build a network of biorepositories to collect and distribute brain tissue to investigators across the country for research on a variety of brain disorders. With support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the NBB was launched in 2013. The major goals of the NBB are to enhance the distribution of high-quality, well-characterized human post-mortem brain tissue to investigators and to increase awareness of the value of brain donation among the public. Due to its success in achieving this mission, the National Institute on Aging and the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, have also joined the NBB network. The NBB provides access to the tissue collections of six contracted sites, as well as additional resources to facilitate research studies, including donor medical records and clinical data sets (when available) and tissue quality metrics.
There have been changes to the information collected by the NBB Tissue Access Request Form (Attachments 1-5), and the addition of the NBB Progress Report Form. Based upon the addition of the NBB Progress Report Form, NIMH has updated the total annual burden hours for respondents to 175 (from 100). NIMH estimates the NBB Tissue Access Request Form and the NBB Progress Report Form will each take 15 minutes to complete.
