The Improving Black Health Outcomes BioResource is a new collaborative research programme. Our mission is to put a spotlight on Black health by investigating the health experiences and outcomes of Black people living in the UK. Find out more bit.ly/IBHO1

At IBHO we want to promote research participation from Black communities, and provide a positive research participant experience.

Here are the steps to take part in the IBHO project. We keep all your data secure on our servers and your sample will be kept safe in storage at the National Biosample Centre!

The IBHO questionnaire will ask you a variety of questions based on prior research into health outcomes. Swipe to see what type of questions we will ask if you decide to take part in our research. NIHR BioResource Genomics England

One of our first conditions of focus at the IBHO BioResource is Sickle Cell, a condition historically not prioritised in research. Through partnering with Genomics England we have established a Sickle Cell-focused arm of the IBHO BioResource. Get involved! bit.ly/IBHO1

The ethos of the IBHO research programme is rooted in collaboration with local community groups. From this ethos, we have been able to develop a more inclusive and impactful approach to patient and public involvement, leading to better research. NIHR BioResource Genomics England
