Where possible, material for a given project will be provided in one batch, in some cases provision may have to be made over a period of time. The distribution of materials to approved projects will be authorised subject to:
- receipt of the agreement by the Principal Investigator to conform to the conditions set out in the application for access document
- modification of the number and size of samples required dependent on the availability of the material
Any project requiring more clinical information than the minimum data set must state this clearly in the application and state if this is an essential component of the application. Any such project will normally be carried out as a collaboration with the NIS institute involved and where appropriate, approval of the relevant Ethical Committee must be sought. |
