The goals for establishing the BBR are to:
1. Establish the BBR at Parkwood Institute for the storage and archiving of human blood and CSF.
2. Establish a local oversight committee composed of neurologists and community representatives to manage operations, review sample requests, and facilitate local, national, and external collaboration.
3. Distribute well-characterized, high-quality biospecimens to internal and external scientific researchers.
4. Promote public awareness of the importance of biospecimen collection in supporting brain disease research.
