The National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the National Institutes of Health, announced a request for public comments on a proposed data collection project. This project involves the "Generic Clearance for National Cancer Institute NCI Resources, Software and Data Sharing Forms," which is aimed at facilitating data sharing and access for biomedical research. The project seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget for a revision and extension of its data collection forms for three additional years. The forms will help researchers access, store, and share data, promoting open scientific inquiry and enhancing educational opportunities for researchers.
Simple Explanation
The National Cancer Institute wants to learn what people think about some new forms that help them share important information, like a big library, to help doctors and scientists learn more about cancer. They also noticed that it might take a lot of hours for people to fill out these forms, but they didn't say how much that would cost in money.
