When samples are distributed to researchers, distribution fees help support the operational costs of the COMBINEDBrain Biorepository, including sample processing, storage, and request coordination.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of distribution fees are returned to the contributing Patient Advocacy Group to support research within their community.
