    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is inviting public comments on the ongoing research data collection process by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). This involves feedback on the Research Data Center's (RDC) proposal for granting access to confidential data, necessary for researchers to conduct their projects. The notice is part of an effort under the Paperwork Reduction Act to reduce public burdens and enhance data utility. Comments must be submitted by February 3, 2025, and should follow submission guidelines through the federal eRulemaking portal or by mail.

They also want to make sure it's easy to understand, fair, and safe for everyone involved.
