Types of
Materials to be Collected
Research Tissue Repository
Updated April 2008








Periodic surveys to
researchers will be mailed out to assess tissue banking needs of the
research community at Carle Foundation Hospital (CFH).
The decision to start collecting certain types of tumor and not others will
be driven by several factors:
§
Likelihood
of tissue being used for research in the future at CFH;
§
Existing
external funding that will support tissue banking;
§
Priorities
of the CFH;
§
Availability of sub-specialist to support banking efforts.
After the surveys are completed and results compiled, the Tissue Repository
Manager will present the data to the Vice President of Research for
decisions on which types of materials to collect.
The Tissue Repository will be in part funded by CFH and therefore, projects
not directly run by a Carle Investigator will only be accommodated if tissue
and personnel resources permit. |
