The application will be reviewed by the NBB councel.
Once an application has been approved, a project number is assigned and the researcher is informed about the procedure for obtaining the requested samples and the financial contribution.
Financial contribution for non-profit organizations:
| Human bodily material | |
| CSF/blood and derivates, 0-600µl/sample | € 17 |
| Frozen tissue, 50-150mg/sample | (€ 67; to be discussed, subject to availability) |
| FFPE tissue section, one slide | € 7 |
| FFPE tissue block, one region | to be discussed, only exceptionally lent |
| administration cost | € 185 |
The University of Antwerp charges an overhead of 20% (contribution indirect costs - BIK). This is passed on to the applicant.
The IBB-NeuroBiobank is a non-profit organization and the financial contribution is meant as compensation for the costs of bio banking, and not as payment for the tissue samples as such.
For profit organizations: a cost model can be negociated.
