1. What is the prbposed research activity that you intend to perform at NIH (please
use lay terms):
Though data is being collected by the CIRB. there is no intent to use this information for
research in any form. The data being collected is for the sole purpose of fulfilling the
mission of the Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB). The data available is not
intended for any use other than to conduct IRB review of studies. Therefore, data are not
being collected on human subiect participants as part of the CIRB Initiative.

The CIRB improves access to NCI-sponsored Cooperative Group cli&cal trials for
potential study participants and their physicians by enabling local IRBs to rapidly
approve clinical trials through the use of a facilitated review process. The NCI Central
Institutional Review Board (CIRB) Initiative reviews protocol, informed consent
document(s), completed CIRB application(s); and when appropriate, an investigator drug
brochure. The CIRB reduces the administrative burden on local IRB's and investigators.

members themselves.
There are 6 qeneral areas in which forms are com~letedand data are collected. These include:
1.
mllects customer feedback pertaining to the use of the ClRB
helpdesk.
