    Indiana Biobank and INresearch.org
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Waymire, Joshua
    Indiana Biobank was established in July 2010 as a resource for all investigators throughout the state of Indiana. The biobank seeks to develop a statewide collection of bio specimens as a research tool to enhance translational research, to improve Hoosier health, and to promote personalized therapy. This large collection of samples is stored, catalogued, characterized and delivered to scientists to carry out translational research to improve the health of Hoosiers. INresearch.org is a secure, password-protected registry of Indiana resident volunteers who want to participate in health-related research. The goal of this registry is to match interested volunteers with researchers. The goal of INresearch.org is to improve health care by discovering new treatments and cures.

    INresearch.org
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2011-04-08) Hudson, Brenda
    The purpose of developing INresearch.org is to engage the public in research by giving them the opportunity to take a more proactive role in research while also allowing them to gain a better understanding of the types of research available through the universities and our clinical partners. Parents, legal guardians and caregivers have the ability to register themselves and/or their children or other dependent individuals. Users are also able to modify any of their personal information entered and/or the information about their dependents whenever it is convenient for them, making the amount of information shared by the individual completely customizable. Finally, users have the ability to remove themselves, and/or their constituents at any time and for any reason. INresearch.org allows the users to be connected to investigators by allowing investigators to contact volunteers about studies that are occurring locally. It is our hope that INresearch.org will be a valuable recruitment tool and help increase research participation for all institutions associated with the Indiana CTSI.
