| How to join the BBMRI catalogue |
|
|
To make an inventory of Europe's biobanking landscape and to identify biobanks that should be part of the BBMRI infrastructure, BBMRI WP2 and WP3 have released in cooperation with P3G a core questionnaire to be filled in by biobanks and an additional network questionnaire for networks of biobanks. Providing the necessary information by filling the BBMRI core questionnaire is mandatory to be registered in BBMRI. After the core questionnaire has been completed, we kindly ask you to fill in the supplementary questionnaires. The filled questionnaires are presented for each individual biobank at the online catalogue of European biobanks. We now offer the possibility to fill in and update the questionnaires online.
Public or private biobanks interested in joining BBMRI during the preparation phase can be considered for associated membership through the following process.
|
Please submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) by sending an email to the Coordinator Kurt Zatloukal (join(o)bbmri.eu), indicating which Work Package of BBMRI your biobank would like to be associated with (WP2 - population based biobanks or WP3 - disease oriented biobanks).
Note: The name and the corresponding acronym of your biobank given in the EoI will be used as unique identifier for your Biobank in the Catalogue.

Once accepted, you will get an account at the BBMRI-Catalogue with your individual login, which allows you to fill in the questionnaires online. Please start with the core questionnaire. If there are more than one collection in your biobank please indicate this in the letter of interest. Then fill in the collection questionnaires and the six supplementary questionnaires: Cost and Fundings; Outcome of Research; IT-solutions; Legal, Ethics and Governance; Resources and Methods; and Description of samples.
NOTE: Financial information on biobanks will only be made available to the national funding agencies and Ministries.

When the questionnaires have been filled in, the biobank will be listed as an "Associated Organization" of BBMRI. The benefits of being an "Associated Organization" include receiving all relevant information on BBMRI (e.g. forthcoming events, achievements, media reports). Associated Organisations are granted access to the project website (bbmri.eu ) which exists to support and improve the smooth flow of information.
Associated Organisations have the right to participate in several activities, such as Work Package meetings and the BBMRI Governance Council meeting. Associated Organisations do not have an official vote on formal issues - as co-applicants of the project (“Participants”) do have - but their input and active involvement in the project is required to ensure that the solutions developed will be suitable for future integration of the biobanks into the BBMRI structure. Noteworthy, participation in the preparatory phase of BBMRI (neither as Participant nor Associated Organisation) is no commitment for future membership of the infrastructure since this depends on decisions made by the corresponding Member State.
