Kaiser Permanente Research Bank (KPRB)
The KPRB collection, formed in 2014, currently comprises data and biospecimens from participants in the United States who were recruited by the KPRB, as well as data and biospecimens from earlier Kaiser Permanente (KP) biobanked collections, including KP Northern and Southern California’s Research Program on Genes, Environment and Health (RPGEH), and KP Northern and Southern California Men’s Health Study (CMHS). Adult KP members who are registered on the KP Member Portal (kp.org) aged 18 years and older are sent an emailed invitation with a link to online enrollment.
