Abstract

A key element in the success of a biobank is the trust and support of the public. Building this trust is a difficult process. The field of population genomics raises many ethical and societal issues that must be addressed in order for the public to see participation as a trustworthy activity. The Public Population Project in Genomics (P3G) is an international collaboration dedicated to bringing members of the population biobanking community together to share their expertise for the advancement of population genomics research. Through its fundamental principles of promotion of the common good, responsibility, mutual respect, accountability and proportionality, P3G seeks to create tools and resources to assist those involved in biobanks to conduct their research in such a way as to inspire the trust and participation of the public.
