Question 1
Will biospecimens be cataloged and stored for possible future additional use by anyone, including the study team?
- If no, then repository registration is not required. HUM application suffices for the use of biospecimens for a specified research aim.
- If yes, then repository registration is required in eResearch through the REP application. Now, continue to next question.
Question 2
May biospecimens be used by others outside the department or beyond the original collaborators?
- If no, then oversight committee is not required.
