The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is requesting approval of this revision application for three years (36 months). This application aims to obtain approvals for the revised Data Submission Agreement (DSA) and Data Use Certification (DUC) information collection documents, which collect information about researchers submitting data and requesting access to shared data in the NIMH Data Archive (NDA). The NDA is an infrastructure for sharing human subjects research data and tools to further collaboration and scientific discovery. While the NDA is a single system, it is comprised of several research domains each with their own associated permission group. The information collected in the DSA and DUC is needed to provide appropriate permissions to either submit or access data, monitor the expiration of these permissions, track and report on permissions and requests, ensure that the terms of submission/access are followed, and provide appropriate attribution for data contributions, and communicate important information about the NDA.
