Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC) (tool)

RRID:SCR_013142

Repository that serves to coordinate searches across data and biospecimen collections from participants in numerous clinical trials and epidemiologic studies and to provide an electronic means for requests for additional information and the submission of requests for collections. The collections, comprising data from more than 80 trials or studies and millions of biospecimens, are available to qualified investigators under specific terms and conditions consistent with the informed consents provided by the individual study participants. Some datasets are presented with studies and supporting materials to facilitate their use in reuse and teaching. Datasets support basic research, clinical studies, observational studies, and demonstrations. Researchers wishing to apply to submit biospecimen collections to the NHLBI Biorepository for sharing with qualified investigators may also use this website to initiate that process.
