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?
