Brief description of study
The Indiana Biobank is a statewide initiative, co-developed by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health to collect blood specimens.
The Indiana Biobank is a collection of biological samples (like blood, urine, and tissue) from individuals matched with their electronic health information. Researchers use biobanks to study genetic factors in health and disease. Researchers use the samples and information to find new and/or better treatments for diseases and health conditions.
IU Health patients can participate in this effort by donating a blood sample. These samples are collected at the time of a routine blood draw for their doctor. The Indiana Biobank can also use blood specimens left over from another draw.
The goal of the project is to enroll 300,000 IU Health patients over the next five years.
Collected samples and medical information are made available to scientists who are performing research that may lead to new or advanced medical treatments. We hope these discoveries will help improve the health of Hoosiers and the community.

Detailed description of study
Who Is Eligible to Participate
All patients who receive care at IU Health hospitals and associated clinics are eligible to participate in the Indiana Biobank.
What Participation Involves
If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete a very brief questionnaire and provide a blood sample. Your sample will be stored for an indefinite period of time unless you ask for your sample to be removed.
What Happens to Your Sample
Your sample will become a part of the larger collection of samples and data that is made available to researchers who are doing work to advance the understanding of the causes of diseases. All personal identifiers have been removed from this data before a researcher receives it.
More information about this initiative, as well as FAQs, can be found here:
