Welcome to BBMRI Preparatory Phase |
 |
 Continuous improvement in the health of European citizens relies on biomedical research and on citizens who participate in that research. Research today needs new, bigger and better resources.
Over 200 organisations - including national funders - in 24 EU Member States are jointly planning EU infrastructure to deliver those resources. The samples. The data. The tools. Our infrastructures already manage over 10 million samples. Our goals are to increase this number, to improve quality, to reduce fragmentation, to extend the reach of European researchers.
Europe has sophisticated health delivery systems. Its citizens understand the need for health research. Now we plan to realise more fully the potential of European biomedical research.
The Vision
BBMRI will sustainably secure access to biological resources required for health-related research and development intended to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease and to promote the health of the citizens of Europe.
The European Commission is funding this planning work (grant agreement 212111).
We welcome all bona fide researchers in the EU to contribute. Click here to apply for membership.

INFRA-2010-1.1.12: Large-scale bio-banks for clinical and epidemiological studies (“The I3 call”)
BBMRI has submitted a new proposal for an FP7 “I3”call “Data Integration and Access Logistics for the Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (DIAL-BBMRI) collaborative networking” on December 3, 2009. If successful, DIAL-BBMRI should provide partial funding for the construction phase of BBMRI (development of biobanking research infrastructure across the Europe to ensure high quality and clinical annotation of biological samples, and their accessibility to the user community).
Our aim is to update the originally submitted research plan so that anyone interested can follow our progress.
