Policy on overlapping projects
1 - MRC/Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource Policy on potentially overlapping research projects
The HDBR:
- Exists to promote high quality research using human embryo/fetal material
- Intends to make access to this material open equally to all workers with a valid project
- Wishes to maintain confidentiality of ongoing projects wherever possible
- Is concerned to avoid wastage of resource due to overlap of research projects
With these principles in mind, the HDBR has produced a policy which aims to avoid project overlap where possible whilst maintaining open access to human material and respect for investigator confidentiality. A copy of this policy can be downloaded below.
