• Passive approach – The CCPM Biobank offers a passive participant recontact approach wherein the biobank will email eligible participants to indicate that they are eligible to enroll in a third-party research study. This approach allows the participant to self-select and reach out directly to the third-party investigator for more information.

• Active approach – The CCPM Biobank offers an active participant recontact approach wherein the biobank will request a signed HIPAA Authorization form (via email and/or phone call) to allow the biobank to forward contact information to the third-party investigator. The investigator is then able to contact those consenting participants directly to enroll in the third-party study.
