Abstract: This request is being submitted as a revision. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) was established by NICHD as a data sharing mechanism for clinical and population health research studies. It serves as a centralized resource for investigators to share and access de-identified study data funded by NICHD. DASH also serves as a portal for requesting biospecimens from select DASH studies. NICHD is in the process of migrating DASH data to a new instance of the Biomedical Research Informatics Computi (BRICS) platform operated by the NIH Center for Information Technology (CIT). This requires changes to the existing Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-approved DASH forms to align with the BRICS platform structure and to incorporate new NIH Requirements for Controlled-Access Data Repositories (CADRs) from the Required Security and Operational Standards for NIH Controlled-Access Data Repositories (NIH CADR Guidebook), hereinafter referred to as “NOT-OD-25-159” (https://www.grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-159.html).
