NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources – Survey Invitation Email
Dear
colleagues,
The lack of standardized, high-quality
biospecimens has been widely recognized as one of the most
significant roadblocks to the progress of cancer research. To address
this issue, the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) Biorepository
Coordinating Committee and the NCI Biorepository and Biospecimen
Research Branch (formerly OBBR) published a set of best practices as
a resource for the biobanking community in 2007 and an updated
version was published in 2011.
You
have been identified as a key stakeholder who can provide important
insights that will inform how we develop and promote the future
editions of these best practices and we would appreciate your
participation in this survey. The survey will take about 10 minutes
to complete. All responses must be received by August 31, 2013. After
that date, the survey will be closed.
Your input really
matters to us. You can help if you deal with biospecimens in any
capacity; whether you administer informed consent for banking
biospecimens, you collect and handle biospecimens, or you prepare IRB
proposals and MTAs involving biospecimens.
If you don't
believe you can respond about these issues, please feel free to
forward this email to the appropriate person within your
organization. Also, if you have already taken the survey, please do
not take the survey again.
Thank you in advance for your
time and thoughtfulness.
