Proposed Collection Title: Specimen Resource Locator, 0925-0703: Reinstatement without Change, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of cancer biology, and to translate important research discoveries to clinical application. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical biospecimens. In response, to this need, the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed, and is expanding, a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The SRL allows scientist in the research community and the NCI to locate specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission is an on-line form that will collect information to manage and improve a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This submission does not involve any analysis.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 105.
