    Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIMH Database of 
Cognitive Training and Remediation Studies (DCTRS) is an integrated 
database that includes study- and subject-level data from studies of 
cognitive remediation (CR) in schizophrenia. DCTRS will allow NIMH 
staff and interested investigators to examine the ways in which various 
patient characteristics, intervention approaches and features, and 
treatment combinations affect responses to remediation. The DCTRS Study 
Information Form and Data Submission Agreement are necessary for the 
``Submitter'' to request permission to submit study data to the NIMH 
DCTRS for general research purposes. The primary use of this 
information is to collect submitter information and study information 
for inclusion in the NIMH DCTRS database. The DCTRS data submission 
agreement includes two forms: (1) The data submission form that 
includes the terms, agreement, submitter information and 
certifications, and (2) the study information form which collects de-
identified data for each study.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 60.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
