BioSEND requires execution of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) prior to shipping samples to any investigator. Per the MTA, the Recipient Investigator must acknowledge the contribution of BioSEND in any and all oral and written presentations, disclosures, and publications resulting from use of samples received from BioSEND using the following language:

NINDS BioSEND grant acknowledgement for all samples obtained from NINDS BioSEND: Samples from the NINDS BioSEND, which receives government support under a cooperative agreement grant (U24 NS095871) awarded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), were used in this study. We thank contributors who collected samples used in this study, as well as patients and their families, whose help and participation made this work possible.

Additional language is required if you received samples from one of the following studies:
