Every biobank negotiates its own legal agreement for sharing tissue, which takes months. A shared standard template, like Creative Commons for samples, would let tissue and data move in days.
Material transfer agreements are negotiated bespoke; consent forms differ; the result is that tumour samples rarely leave the institution that collected them. A common consent text recognised by ethics committees and a standard tiered MTA (academic, commercial, with fixed benefit-sharing terms) would remove most negotiation. Precedents include the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement (UBMTA) and the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health consent toolkit.
