A lot of the data that you’re asking for is information that I can collect off of a patient’s chart. Are we required by the NIH to post this as a survey to the patients? I understand asking them if we can share the zip code but in terms of much of the information – if it’s de-identified and we collect it anyway, is there a requirement for the NIH about how we collect this information? Not all of the information may be available from all of the patients. How do you want us to go about that in terms of data collection?

If you don’t have that information, you can explain why you were unable to collect it. Whether you get data from a chart or from the patient themselves depends on your IRB-approved protocol.
