国家管辖范围以外的研究合作是卫生研究全球化的一个方面。它有可能在研究技能、设备和缺乏足够数量的潜在研究对象方面补充研究人员。平等伙伴关系的合作虽然可取，但未必可行。有时，人类研究标本必须从一个国家运到另一个国家。在发生这种情况时，合作研究机构之间应就标本的获取和控制问题以及标本的保存期限有明确的了解。研究人员有责任向研究参与者通报标本的储存和跨国界运输情况。虽然获得研究对象的知情同意，如果标本在本研究结束后保存可能是理想的，但在多元文化的世界中仍然存在重大挑战。
Research collaboration beyond national jurisdiction is one aspect of the globalisation of health research. It has potential to complement researchers in terms of research skills, equipment and lack of adequate numbers of potential research subjects. Collaboration at an equal level of partnership though desirable, may not be practicable. Sometimes, human research specimens must be transported from one country to other. Where this occurs, there should be clear understanding between the collaborating research institutions regarding issues of access and control of the specimens as well as the duration of storage of specimens. The researchers have the duty to inform the research participants about specimen storage and transport across national boundaries. While obtaining informed consent from study subjects if specimens are to be stored beyond the life of the present study could be the ideal, there still remains significant challenges in a multi-cultural world.
