| Description | |
| Description | The National University of Colombia is an public entity of superior education with three axes of action, education, extension and research. As part of this last axis, biological research are developed providing material and relying on biological collections. The biology department houses the Host-Parasite Relationship Study Group collection (GERPH) which focuses on parasitic symbiotic relationships between blood-infecting taxa and their wildlife vertebrate hosts. |

| Rights | |
| Collection rights | The measured use of blood or other tissue and DNA samples can be carried out within specific agreements with other collections or multidisciplinary or inter-institutional research projects. Authorships for products from such inter-institutional research projects which involves researches from Universidad Nacional de Colombia would be discussed in the proposal of projects.
The transferred samples should be used only for the agreed purposes and by the people who signed the agreement directly; once the studies finish, any remaining samples should be destroyed. Credits of origin of the samples must be provided to the GERPH collection in the databases and publications or research that use the collection's material. |
| Access rights | The Biological collection can provide specimens for developing research and exchange specimens with other national or international biological collections. For the latter, agreements or contracts must be signed beforehand.
The use must be exclusively for scientific activities such as generating new molecular knowledge for systematic, taxonomy, ecology, evolutionary, or biogeography, with non-commercial purposes. Tissue, blood, and DNA samples are a finite resource, so their access is at the curators' discretion. Depending on the amount of sample per species available in the collection in order to maximize its preservation. DNA samples transference should be consulted with the curator by email to icsti_nal@unal.edu.co with a copy to nemattac@unal.edu.co. If the transfer is possible, the interested should sign the material transfer agreement available below, and the material mobility procedures will begin. |
| Usage restrictions | Transference of samples will require signing a specific interinstitutional agreement.
The transference of samples to foreign collections or laboratories should follow the export processing applicable for non-CITES species. Species samples in any CITES appendix could be exported if the researcher carry out the corresponding export process with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development or another competent authority. Other intentions of use, such as biological prospecting, industrial application, or commercial use, require that the researcher or their institution do the processes for a contract to genetic resources access with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development or the competent authority. Following the Nagoya Protocol application about genetic resources access and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from its use. The materials transferred to an institution may NOT be fully or partially shared with a third institution or researchers without first consulting directly with GERPH collection and managing the resulting agreements. Failure to adhere to these terms during or after carrying out the studies with the transferred material reported by third parties or detected, for example, through scientific publications, will be redirected to the Universidad Nacional de Colombia's legal and Intellectual Property office, the university is the custodian of the samples. |
