Tissue For
Test Development
Research Tissue Repository
Updated April 2008








The Tissue Repository will institute a “Short Form” application process by
which an investigator can obtain a few specimens for test development,
quality control, or preliminary research. It is expected that these
specimens will be used for optimization of research protocols. There will be
no annotating data provided with these tissue sections, but IRB approval is
still necessary before tissues are delivered. It is expected that most IRB
protocols for this purpose will either be exempt or expedited. There will be
no charge for these specimens, however, as a rule, only 3 to 5 specimens
will be available through this mechanism.
It
is expected that if the investigator obtains positive results, he or she
will formally apply for additional specimens through the standard
application process. |
