    Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for National Cancer 
Institute (NCI) NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms, 0925--
EXISTING COLLECTION IN USE WITHOUT AN OMB NUMBER, Expiration Date xx/
xx/xxxx, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health 
(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.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
