Public biobanks: calculation and recovery of costs

Bruno Clément et al. Sci Transl Med. .

Abstract

A calculation grid developed by an international expert group was tested across biobanks in six countries to evaluate costs for collections of various types of biospecimens. The assessment yielded a tool for setting specimen-access prices that were transparently related to biobank costs, and the tool was applied across three models of collaborative partnership.
