What is a research repository?
A research repository is defined as a collection of data/biospecimens that have been collected and stored with the intention of using the materials for future research, either by the investigator who collected them or by sharing the materials with other investigators.
Researchers interact with a repository in 3 different ways:
- Primary collection/aggregation of data/biospecimens
- Intake, storage, maintenance, and distribution of repository data/biospecimens
- Secondary use/analysis of data/biospecimens obtained from a repository
When do I need to create a repository?
When you plan to keep data/biospecimens collected for future research.
How do I create a repository?
- Start an IRB application in iRIS.
- Draft a repository protocol and needed documents to manage the repository.
Find more information and templates for repositories in the Teams channel: IRB-Investigator Forum/Research Repository
