Proposed Collection: Generic Clearance for NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms, 0925—NEW, Expiration Date xx/xx/xxxx, NCI, NIH.

Need and Use of Information Collection: In preparation for dissemination and sharing of data sets, forms requesting or applying for access, upload, share, and store data will be needed. The purpose of data sharing allows data generated from one research study to be used to answer questions beyond the original study. It reinforces open scientific inquiry, encourages diversity of analysis, supports studies on data collection methods and measurement, facilitates the education of new researchers, and enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators. Biomedical researchers and data scientists can use the NCI cloud resources, web interface, and computational workspaces to query, submit data, analyze, and visualize data. The forms would be used to register a scientist's research data, apply for data storage, and submit a request to access and use the data. In addition to these forms, forms related to metadata information ( i.e., related to the collection of the research data; how the data was collected) would be collected for some research OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden are 5,775 hours.
