Use by Third Parties

The CHTN application 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 enclosed CHTN agreement page 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 researchers should be encouraged to apply to the CHTN directly.
