Use by Third Parties

The CHTN Application ^[DOC] is intended for the use and processing of samples utilized by the laboratory and/or personnel that fall under the supervision of the PI listed in the application. Any transfer of samples or aliquots to personnel or laboratories that are not under the supervision of the indicated PI requires the following:

An explanation of the need to transfer the materials and benefit to the investigator's research,
A copy of the CHTN agreement page from the CHTN application signed by the collaborator,
A copy of the collaborator's IRB approval unless the collaborator is covered under the IRB approval granted for the project proposed in this application.

The CHTN does not supply samples to banks solely for distribution to third parties; those investigators should be encouraged to apply to the CHTN directly.

Patient identity or other identifying information cannot be provided to investigators. This ensures complete confidentiality regarding medical information of patients.
