Privacy Act of 1974; new system of records--Department of Health and Human Services; Public Health Service. Notification of a new system of records: 09-25-0143.
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act, the Public Health Service (PHS) is publishing notice of a proposal to establish a new system of records, 09-25-0143, Biomedical Research: Records of Subjects in Clinical, Epidemiologic and Biometric Studies of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, HHS/NIH/NIAID. We are also proposing routine uses for this system. This system will be used to support (1) epidemiologic, clinical and biometric investigations into the causes, nature (morbidity and mortality), outcome, therapy and cost of infectious, immunologic and related diseases; (2) review and evaluation of the progress of these research projects, and identification and planning for improvements or for additional research. The population and statistical studies supported by this system may be conducted or managed by Institute staff as well as others outside the Institute. This system comprises records maintained in a number of distinct research projects. The number and specific nature of projects will change over time as new ones are started and as work on existing projects is completed.
