Human tissue obtained through clinical procedures or for research may be used within the Nebraska Medical Center campus or transferred to external organizations consistent with the Nebraska Medical Center campus mission of patient care, teaching, research and outreach. Tissue obtained for clinical and/or research purposes is the property of the Nebraska Medical Center Academic Clinical Enterprise (i.e. UNMC, UNMC Physicians and The Nebraska Medical Center). Use and transfer of human tissue shall take place in accordance with the procedures below to ensure applicable regulatory and ethical standards are met. This policy applies to physical tissue and not to tissue images. | Human tissue obtained through clinical procedures or for research may be used within the Nebraska Medical Center campus or transferred to external organizations consistent with the Nebraska Medical Center campus mission of patient care, teaching, research and outreach.

#:The UNMC Institutional Review Board (IRB) has responsibility and authority over research use of tissue in the Nebraska Medical Center clinical enterprise. See the resources listed below or contact the IRB to obtain additional guidance in this area. The principal investigator in charge of an existing tissue bank may transfer tissue for research purposes to external individuals/organizations utilizing a material transfer agreement (MTA). The Medical Director of Anatomical Pathology or the Director of the HGL or MGL, depending on the location of the tissue, shall determine if there is sufficient tissue to meet research requests. | #:The UNMC Institutional Review Board (IRB) has responsibility and authority over research use of tissue in the Nebraska Medical Center clinical enterprise.

#* Investigators leaving UNMC. Investigators who leave UNMC are prohibited from taking tissue specimens or the resultant data with them unless they have prior written approval from their department chair, College dean, IRB chair (if IRB-regulated) and the Vice Chancellor of Research. Investigators will be required to complete a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) and submit it to the UneMed office before tissue transfers can take place. The investigator must pay all the costs of transfer, unless the MTA specifies another source of payment. | #* Investigators leaving UNMC.
