Bandeau haut
The BBMRI-LPC project (Biobanking and Biomolecular Research Infrastructure – Large Prospective Cohorts) aims to facilitate large transnational research projects conducted in prospective cohort studies.
Support offered
The successful applicants will be offered free access to samples and exposure data from the BBMRI-LPC network of 19 European cohort studies, involving over 2.8 million study participants with lifestyle information and samples collected at baseline.
Funds will not be provided to the successful applicants but will instead be provided to the cohorts to perform the access services requested by the successful applicants.
• Retrieval, preparation, quality control and shipment of samples;
• Data management, e.g. registry linkage, matching of controls to index cases, retrieval of exposure and endpoint variables;
• Support with attaining scientific review board and ethics approval at the cohort home institution;
• Some support for metabolomics and whole-genome genotyping/sequencing data.
• Laboratory analyses;
• Statistical analyses;
• Harmonisation of data.
Costs for these activities will have to be covered by the applicant through other sources of funding.
Of note, BBMRI-LPC will assess the data harmonisation approach proposed by the applicant in the review process. However, the actual data harmonisation procedure will be carried out by the applicant.
