The Ontario Tumour Bank (OTB) is a program of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), which is a not-for-profit corporation funded by the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Research and Innovation. OTB is governed by the OICR Board of Directors which provides oversight for this program as well as other OICR programs and initiatives.

The governance structure and management of the program ensures that tissue samples and anonymized data are provided to academic and industry researchers within a framework that meets the highest societal standards. In addition, at each collection centre, the Principal Investigator chairs a local management committee to oversee operations of the program locally. Members of this committee include Senior Administrative Management and department leads from Medical, Surgical, and Radiation Oncology and Pathology.
