Management and contact information
Steering Committee - MDC/MPP
Project description
MDC and MPP is an independent scientific project at Lund University that is jointly run by several research groups. MDC and MPP consist of databases and biobanks.
A Steering Committee decides on and organizes the maintenance, expansion and extraction of data and samples. The work is coordinated by a chairman, but the project is based on joint decision-making and joint responsibility. The Steering Committee currently meets 6 times a year and, on these occasions, received withdrawal applications are processed. Supplements to previous applications that concern updates or minor data extraction, necessary for the original question, can be decided by the chairman of the management group.
The division of labor is regulated by an agreement, a declaration of intent, from 2020, but the agreement currently only exist in a Swedish version.
