BIOSHARE-EU Biobank Standardisation and Harmonisation for Research Excellence in the European Union

Coordinator: ACADEMISCH ZIEKENHUIS GRONINGEN (NL)

Given contemporary understanding of the complexity of the causal architecture of common chronic diseases, the next stage of bioclinical scientific progress will depend critically on large-scale pooled analyses of high quality data from many biobanks and bioclinical studies. Such analyses will only be possible if we are able to harmonise and standardise the collection, storage, and management of data and bio-samples across biobanking studies. Recent consortium-based meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have clearly demonstrated that it is possible to pool and analyse genomic…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €12.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2010-12-01 to 2015-11-30.
