Subject:

Continuation of Protocol #2009-16 National Health Interview Survey

The NCHS Research ERB reviewed the request for approval of Continuation of Protocol #2009-16
National Health Interview Survey at the convened ERB meeting on June 12, 2014. Continuation of
Protocol #2009-16 is approved for the maximum allowable period of one year.
IRB approval of protocol #2009-16 will expire on 06/23/15.
If it is necessary to continue the study beyond the expiration date, a request for continuation approval
should be submitted about 6 weeks prior to 06/23/15.
There is no grace period beyond one year from the last approval date.  In order to avoid lapses in
approval of your research and the possible suspension of subject enrollment, please submit your
continuation request at least six (6) weeks before the protocol's expiration date of 06/23/15.  It is
your responsibility to submit your research protocol for continuing review.

Any problems of a serious nature should be brought to the immediate attention of the Research ERB, and
any proposed changes should be submitted for Research ERB approval before they are implemented.
Please submit "clean" copies of the revised protocol or consents and any other revised forms to this office
for the official protocol file.
Please call or e-mail me or Andrea MacKay, M.S.P.H. if you have any questions.
