    Proposed Collection Title: NIH NeuroBioBank Tissue Access Request 
Form, REVISION, OMB #0925-0723, exp., date 10/31/2024, National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This request serves as 
notice that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to continue 
supporting the research community studying neurological, developmental, 
and psychiatric disorders by coordinating access to human post-mortem 
brain tissue and related biospecimens stored by our federation of 
networked brain and tissue repositories known as the NIH NeuroBioBank. 
To facilitate this process, researchers wishing to obtain brain tissue 
and biospecimens stored by the NIH NeuroBioBank must continue 
completing the NIH NeuroBioBank Tissue Access Request Form. The primary 
use of the information collected by this instrument is to document, 
track, monitor, and evaluate the appropriate use of the NIH 
NeuroBioBank resources, as well as to notify interested recipients of 
updates, corrections or changes to the system.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 100.
