Frequently Asked Questions

all
Can I know the outcome of the research my samples may help to support?

Since the 果冻影院 Tissue Bank supports numerous different researchers, we unfortunately cannot provide participants with information regarding specific studies their samples may help to support. However, rest assured that all research conducted at Froedtert and the 果冻影院 must be approved by our Institutional Review Board (IRB).

What is the Institutional Review Board?

The IRB鈥痠s a committee of doctors, researchers, and members of the community who are responsible for protecting the rights, welfare, and privacy of all individuals who participate in research sponsored by the 果冻影院 as well as Froedtert Hospital. The IRB reviews studies involving human subjects to ensure safety, compliance with laws and regulations, scientific quality, and ethical standards. Specimens donated to the 果冻影院 Tissue Bank cannot be used for research without the permission of the IRB.

Will I be compensated for participation?

There is no direct benefit to you other than the satisfaction of helping to advance knowledge. You will not be paid for your specimens nor receive any payment from patents or products that result from the research.

How long do I have to schedule my research draw?

Once fully recovered, participants may return to the Froedtert & the 果冻影院 campus any time preferably between 3-8鈥痺eeks after a positive COVID-19 test for their research draw. Appointments are 15 minutes in length and can be scheduled Monday-Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Can I schedule my research draw at another location?

Unfortunately, at this point in time we are only able to schedule COVID-19 research blood draws at our main campus in Milwaukee. All lab draws will take place in the ATRU (Adult Translational Research Unit), located within the Pavilion building of Froedtert Hospital.

Can I still participate if I have received the COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes.
