http://epi.grants.cancer.gov/CFR/

The Breast Cancer Family Registry (Breast CFR) and the Colon Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR) were established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a unique resource for investigators to use in conducting studies on the genetics and molecular epidemiology of breast and colon cancer. Known collectively as the CFRs, they share a central goal: the translation of research to the clinical and prevention settings for the benefit of Registry participants and the general public. The CFRs are particularly interested in: * Identifying and characterizing cancer susceptibility genes; * Defining gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in cancer etiology; and * Exploring the translational, preventive, and behavioral implications of research findings. The CFRs do not provide funding for studies; however, researchers can apply to access CFR data and biospecimens contributed by thousands of families from across the spectrum of risk for these cancers and from population-based or relative controls. Special features of the CFRs include: * Population-based and clinic-based ascertainment; * Systematic collection of validated family history; * Epidemiologic risk factor , clinical, and followup data; * Biospecimens (including tumor blocks and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed cell lines); * Ongoing molecular characterization of the participating families; and * A combined informatics center.

http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

http://neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/index.php/research_tissue_bank.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.)

Project exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future).
