In 2003, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at NIH established Data, Biosample, and Genetic Repositories to increase the impact of current and previously funded NIDDK studies by making their data and biospecimens available to the broader scientific community. These Repositories enable scientists not involved in the original study to test new hypotheses without any new data or biospecimen collection, and they provide the opportunity to pool data across several studies to increase the power of statistical analyses. In addition, most NIDDK-funded studies are collecting genetic biospecimens and carrying out high-throughput genotyping making it possible for other scientists to use Repository resources to match genotypes to phenotypes and to perform informative genetic analyses.

Through its Blood4Research Program based in Vancouver, the Centre for Innovation collects blood from committed donors who have been deferred from donating blood for patient use. The collected blood is processed and provided to investigators to facilitate research that promotes advances in the fields of transfusion, cellular therapies, and transplantation medicine. Through its Cord Blood for Research Program, Canadian Blood Services’ Cord Blood Bank provides investigators with cord blood products to facilitate research that promotes advances in the fields of transfusion, cellular therapies, and transplantation medicine.​ The Cord Blood for Research Program distributes cord blood products that do not meet the criteria for storage in the cord blood bank but still contain enough cells for meaningful research and for which mothers’ research consent has been obtained.
