Tribal Consultation on “NIH Disposition of Biospecimens Collected from Tribal Populations”

Event Date: 12/05/2024

Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM ET

Location: Virtual (NIH Videocast)

To ensure research equity and respect for Tribal customs and research practices, NIH is proposing disposition options for de-identified biospecimens collected from AI/AN and International Indigenous populations. When NIH can identify Tribal affiliation and has initiated the return of biospecimens, several options can be pursued. This Tribal Consultation is aimed at identifying solutions, in partnership with Tribes, that NIH can confidently deliver.
