Subject: New Protocol #2015-08 National Health Interview Survey
The NCHS Research Ethics Review Board reviewed the request for new Protocol 2015-08 National Health Interview
Survey at the May 20, 2015 convened Board meeting, using the review process based on 45 CFR 46. Protocol #2015-08
is approved for the maximum allowable period of one year.
ERB approval of protocol #2015-08 will expire on 06/12/16.
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 06/12/16.
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 06/12/16. It is your responsibility to submit your
research protocol for continuing review.
Any problems of a serious nature resulting from implementation of these changes should be brought to the attention of the
Research ERB, and any additional proposed changes should be submitted for IRB approval before they are implemented.
Please submit "clean" copies of the revised protocol, consent forms, and any other revised materials to this office for the
official protocol file.
Please call me or Andrea MacKay, M.S.P.H., if you have any questions.
