IRB Compliance & Consenting

Ensuring the highest standards of ethics and compliance is fundamental to the operations of the Yale School of Medicine Biobank. Our compliance and consenting procedures are designed to safeguard participants' rights and ensure that the biobank operates within the frameworks of local, national, and international regulations.

You must have permission from Yale IRB to use our services. The biorepository can provide investigators with guidance and resources for IRB submission.

The YSM Biobank offers both traditional and digital tools to provide consent support. These can include interactive presentations and online platform to help participants understand the information, which can be more engaging and accessible than paper forms alone.
