Cost and availability of a database often impede research while the lack of compatibility inhibits collaboration by making merging of databases difficult or impossible. The Global Pregnancy Collaboration (CoLab) has promoted harmonization of studies and standardized data collection to facilitate pregnancy and placental research. Its online database, COLLECT, allows collection of minimal and optimal clinical datasets to accompany basic and applied science studies and provides a placental sample inventory system. COLLECT is available free of charge in LMIC and for $100 per month in HIC. Data is the property of the investigator but with permission can be combined into larger studies across centers and countries.
数据库的成本和可用性常常会阻碍研究，而缺乏兼容性则会使数据库难以或无法合并，从而阻碍合作。全球妊娠合作组织（CoLab）促进了研究的协调和数据收集的标准化，以方便妊娠和胎盘研究。其在线数据库 COLLECT 允许收集最小和最佳的临床数据集，以配合基础和应用科学研究，并提供胎盘样本库存系统。COLLECT 在中低收入国家免费提供，在高收入国家每月收费 100 美元。数据是研究者的财产，但经许可，可以在中心和国家之间进行更大规模的研究。
