Tissue Request Application

Upon completion of the Tissue Request Application Form, all researchers will have their applications reviewed by the NeuroTexas Institute Scientific Advisory Board, which is composed of a multidisciplinary complement of clinical research investigators. Requests will be judged on scientific merit, potential research importance, credentials of researchers, and current proof of IRB approval.

Approved researchers may also request a query of the repository for either the inclusion or sufficiency of potential research variables by filling out the Tissue Request Form as well.
