National Cancer Institute's Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources

As part of the commitment to maintaining current and scientifically accurate best practices, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking public comment on a revised version of the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources. This revised version of the NCI Best Practices is intended to both respond to comments received from the biospecimen resource community and provide more current and detailed recommendations related to biospecimen and data quality. Major revisions include the addition of new sections on Biospecimen Resource Management and Operations and Conflict of Interest, expansion of recommendations related to Custodianship and Informed Consent based on NCI workshops, addition of current references throughout the document and harmonization with current federal guidance documents and recommendations from international biospecimen organizations.
