Application for biobank collection cohort samples

All applications for samples from the Biobank Collection cohorts must be approved by an external scientific committee and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona Ethics Committee (CEIm).  Depending on the cohort, applications must also pass through an internal scientific committee and may require scientific collaboration with the team promoting the sample collection. 

For applications for samples from research groups outside IDIBAPS, the researcher must send the completed sample application form together with the approval report for each research project. 

For applications for samples from IDIBAPS research groups: 

  • If the research group already has the research project approved by the CEIm, it must send the completed sample application form together with the approval report from the research project’s ethics committee.  

  • If the research group has not had the research project approved by the CEIm, it must send the completed sample application form through the form provided by the CEIm in the Biobank’s sample request section. Once the Biobank approves the sample application, the research group will receive an e-mail in order to be able to send in the research project proposal, so that both documents can be assessed in parallel.
