Event Date: 12/05/2024
Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET

The NIH Office of Science Policy, in partnership with the NIH Tribal Health Research Office, will be holding a Tribal Consultation regarding the disposition of de-identified biospecimens collected from Tribal and International Indigenous population members and their return back to the Tribes. The goal of this Consultation is to ensure research equity and respect for Tribal sovereignty, customs, and research practices when finalizing options for disposition, including when transfer/return has been requested by a Tribe.
