This article presents results of the research on awareness toward biobanking and motivation to collaborate among employees of 3 medical and scientific organizations in Russia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The anonymous survey was carried out via an online platform. The research included 176 healthcare and science professionals. To assess the differences between the groups the Pearson Chi-square test and the contingency coefficient were used. To find correlations between nominal and interval variables the Eta criterion was applied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was found that 88.1% of respondents were aware of biobanking in general, however, 15.0% were not aware of a biobank in their organization or had difficulty in answering this question. The experience of cooperation with biobanks was not particularly extensive \u2013 more than half of the respondents (60.3%) indicated that they had never contacted biobanks. 11.9% of participants became donors themselves. 35.0% - suggested to their friends and patients to become donors, while 86.2% were willing to do this in the future. The study showed that the respondents who already had experience working with biobanks, as well as those who themselves act as a donor, rated the importance of their activities higher.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>It is important to increase not only awareness but also motivation to cooperate with biobanks and be willing to take
