Manuals

Investigators must describe how requests for genetic samples will be received, reviewed and approved.  Plans for data/specimen sharing should also be described in the Consent Document.  If the samples have been stripped of identifiers, subjects will not be able to request at a later time that they be destroyed.

Samples must be destroyed when the study is closed in HawkIRB unless the study is approved by the IRB to store samples for future research.
