Proposed Collection Title: Chimpanzee Research Use Form, 0925-0705,
exp., date 9/30/2020, Extension, Division of Program Coordination,
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), Office of the Director
(OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of this form is
to obtain information needed by the NIH to assess whether the proposed
research satisfies the agency's policy for permitting only noninvasive
research involving chimpanzees. The NIH will consider the information
submitted through this form prior to the agency making funding
decisions or otherwise allowing the research to begin. Completion of
this form is a mandatory step toward receiving NIH support or approval
for noninvasive research involving chimpanzees. The NIH does not fund
any research involving chimpanzees proposed in new or other competing
projects (renewals or revisions) unless the research is consistent with
the definition of ``noninvasive research,'' as described in the
``Standards of Care for Chimpanzees Held in the Federally Supported
Chimpanzee Sanctuary System'' (42 CFR part 9). See NOT-OD-16-095 at
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-16-095.html and
81 FR 6873.
OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours is 10.
