NIDDK Central Repositories-Biosample

NIDDK开展并支持许多内科疾病和相关专科领域的临床研究。NIDDK资助的许多大型临床研究从受试者身上收集生物标本用于分析和未来的研究。从许多不同的研究中收集这些患者和对照样本，这是一个有价值的资源，研究人员可以通过它快速验证临床假设和临床决策算法。该收藏还推动了与NIDDK使命相关的疾病的预后、标志物和治疗方法的发展。该项目将在此被称为“生物样本库”，延续了2003年开始的重要收集，在概念上与NIH其他研究所现有的存储库相关。

The NIDDK conducts and supports much of the clinical research on the diseases of internal medicine and related subspecialty fields. Many of the large clinical studies funded by the NIDDK collect biospecimens from subjects for analysis and future study. The collection of these patient and control samples from many different studies in a single repository is a valuable resource with which researchers can rapidly validate clinical hypotheses and algorithms for clinical decision. The collection is also advancing the development of prognostics, markers, and therapeutics for diseases related to the mission of the NIDDK. This project, which will be referred to herein as ¿the Biosample Repository¿, continues an important collection begun in 2003 and is conceptually related to repositories in existence at other institutes at the NIH. The repository stores and maintains biosamples under high quality conditions, and distributes them in an equitable and ethical manner. This facilitates sharing of NIDDK-supported resources, thus encouraging work by junior investigators, investigators with novel approaches, and others not included in current collaborations, without excluding those who are established in their fields. It helps to ensure that research participants make a maximal contribution, and decreases duplicative sampling efforts.
