Proper Citation: Confederation of Cancer Banks (RRID:SCR_006885)
Description: The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research. The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision. This will benefit all involved by allowing the sharing of expertise and information, the establishment of harmonized standards for the operation of cancer biobanks and provide a means to access a larger pool of biosamples from the confederated banks. The initial achievements of the NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks were the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for the founder members of the Confederation, and a document outlining the Guiding Principles for the management and operation of a tissue bank / biobank in the contemporary ethical and legal setting. Any organization based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. CCB Members receive: * access to the Members Area of the web site containing shared resources * inclusion in email discussion fora with other members * networking opportunities with other members * inclusion in a collective voice to research funders, policy makers, legislators and others * inclusion in the NCRI''s new on-line sample directory * one free registration for each CCB workshop * a future opportunity to pursue accreditation/quality endorsement for the bank * a potential future opportunity for your donors to join a donor forum, which provides patients/sample donors with a mechanism of keeping in touch with research biobanking activities.
