End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) published a final rule in the Federal Register on October 24, 1996 (61 FR 55102-55106), amending the regulations at 42 CFR part 52, Grants for Research Projects, which govern Public Health Service (PHS) research project grants. The regulations were amended to apply to all research project grant programs administered by NIH and the Department of Health and Human Services (Department), except for grants for health services research, demonstration, and evaluation projects administered by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), to make it unnecessary to include a long list of programs in the regulations or to go through the lengthy process of amending the regulations each time a new program is established. At that time we provided in the preamble a listing of the applicable programs and indicated that we would periodically publish a list of the research project grant programs to which the regulations apply, and the applicability of the regulations to new programs would be announced as Department components initiated new programs.
We are publishing the list of programs to which the regulations apply to reflect the addition of new authorities in sections 317J, 317K, 317L, 330E, 399M, 399N, 409E, 434A, 445I, 447B, and 1261 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), as amended. Section 317J of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 247b-11), as amended by section 601 of the Children's Health Act of 2000, Public Law 106-310, concerns research with respect to education and training for health professionals and the general public relating to the effects of folic acid in preventing birth defects. Section 317K of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 247b-12), as amended by section 901 of Public Law 106-310, concerns research relating to risk factors, prevention strategies, and the roles of the family, health care providers, and the community in safe motherhood. Section 317L of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C.247b-13), as amended by section 911 of Public Law 106-310, concerns epidemiological research on the prevention of prenatal and postnatal smoking, alcohol, and illegal drug use. Section 330E of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 254c-5), as amended by section 801 of Public Law 106-310, concerns research relating to intervention strategies to improve the lives of persons with epilepsy, particularly children. Section 399M of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 280g-1), as amended by section 702 of Public Law 106-310, concerns research relating to the efficacy of new screening techniques and technology, including clinical studies on the efficacy of new interventions, regarding hearing loss in infants. Section 399N of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 280g-2), as amended by section 1101 of Public Law 106-310, concerns research relating to improving the outcomes among children with childhood cancers and resultant secondary conditions. Section 409E of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 284i), as amended by section 1901 of Public Law 106-310, concerns research relating to autoimmune diseases. Section 434A of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 285c-9), as amended by section 402 of Public Law 106-310, concerns long-term epidemiology studies relating to type 1 or juvenile diabetes. Section 445I of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 285e-10a), as added by section 801 of the Public Health Improvement Act, Public Law 106-505, concerns Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Research and Training Awards to enhance and promote the translation of new scientific knowledge into clinical practice related to the diagnosis, care, and treatment of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Section 447B of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 285f-3), as amended by section 901 the Public Health Improvement Act, Public Law 106-505, concerns Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinical Research and Training Awards to enhance and promote the translation of new scientific knowledge into clinical practice related to the diagnosis, care, and treatment of individuals with sexually transmitted diseases. Finally, section 1261 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 300d-61), as amended by section 1303 of Public Law 106-310, concerns basic and applied research regarding traumatic brain injury, including the development, modification, and evaluation of therapies and programs of rehabilitation toward reaching or restoring normal capabilities.Start Printed Page 66115
