Proposed Project
The Center for Research for Mothers and Children intends to conduct
the study for ``Infant Sleep Position and SIDS Risk.'' The CRMC is
authorized by Section 452 of Part G of Title IV of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 288) as amended by the NIH Revitalization Act of
1993 (Pub. L. 103-43).
The information proposed for collection will be used by the NICHD
to study if there is any correlation between the events occurring prior
to death for infants who died of SIDS or their parents to determine the
causes of SIDS.
The annual burden estimates are as follows:
