The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research. The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision. This will benefit all involved by allowing the sharing of expertise and information, the establishment of harmonized standards for the operation of cancer biobanks and provide a means to access a larger pool of biosamples from the confederated banks. The initial achievements of the NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks were the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for the founder members of the Confederation, and a document outlining the Guiding Principles for the management and operation of a tissue bank / biobank in the contemporary ethical and legal setting. Any organization based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. CCB Members receive: * access to the Members Area of the web site containing shared resources * inclusion in email discussion fora with other members * networking opportunities with other members * inclusion in a collective voice to research funders, policy makers, legislators and others * inclusion in the NCRI''s new on-line sample directory * one free registration for each CCB workshop * a future opportunity to pursue accreditation/quality endorsement for the bank * a potential future opportunity for your donors to join a donor forum, which provides patients/sample donors with a mechanism of keeping in touch with research biobanking activities.

http://zgc.nci.nih.gov/

Part of zebrafish genome project. ZGC project to produce cDNA libraries, clones and sequences to provide complete set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for zebrafish. All ZGC sequences are deposited in GenBank and clones can be purchased from distributors of IMAGE consortium. With conclusion of ZGC project in September 2008, GenBank records of ZGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since definition of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have ZGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order ZGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. Recently it has been discovered that specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) may elevate the risk of developing prostate cancer. This study aims at investigating whether it is possible to use these SNPs in a clinical setting in order to sharpen the diagnostic tools when investigating if a man has prostate cancer. By collecting blood from men who have undergone a needle biopsy of the prostate and do a SNP analysis of their genes and compare this with the result of the biopsy and PSA result we hope to be able to develop a test that is more specific than the routine that is being used today. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * DNA Number of sample donors: 5321 (June 2010)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. Cardiovascular disease and periodontitis are common diseases, causing considerable suffering and costs. Despite strong links between the two diseases it is unclear if periodontitis causes cardiovascular disease. The primary aims are to investigate whether periodontitis is a risk factor for the development of myocardial infarction and if periodontitis increases the risk for new cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke and death in patients with a previous myocardial infarction. PAROKRANK is a case control study. Cases (n=1500) are patients with a first myocardial infarction and controls population derived people without cardiovascular disease(n=1500). Both groups are subjected to predefined dental examinations, analyses of a variety of risk factors and a biobank of blood and dental samples will be established. Information is collected from available registries (RIKS-HIA and SEPHIA) and study specific records.

Free access to materials for students, educators, and researchers in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Currently there are about a dozen demonstrations and more than 30 videos that were produced over the last two years. The basic philosophy of goCognitive rests on the assumption that easy and free access to high-quality content will improve the learning experience of students and will enable more students to enjoy the field of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. There are a few parts of goCognitive that are only available to registered users who have provided their email address, but all of the online demonstrations and videos are accessible to the everyone. Both new demonstrations and new video interviews will continually be added to the site. Manuals for each of the demonstration are being created and available as pdf files for download. Most of the demonstrations are pretty straightforward - but in some cases, especially if you would like to collect data - it might be a good idea to look over the manual. There are different ways in which you can get involved and contribute to the site. Your involvement can range from sending us feedback about the demonstrations and videos, suggestions for new materials, or the simple submission of corrections, to the creation or publication of demonstrations and videos that meet our criteria. Down the road we will make the submission process easier, but for now please contact swerner (at) uidaho dot edu for more information. NSF student grant Undergraduate students can apply through goCognitive for an $1,100 grant to co-produce a new video interview with a leading researcher in the field of cognitive neuroscience. The funding has been provided by the National Science Foundation.

A dataset of a panel study of a representative sample of all neighborhoods and households in Los Angeles County, with poor neighborhoods and families with children oversampled, for investigating the social and economic determinants of health and race and ethnic disparities. The study follows neighborhoods over time, as well as children and families. Two waves have been conducted to date, in 2000-2001 (L.A.FANS 1) and again beginning in 2006 through early 2009 (L.A. FANS 2). L.A.FANS-2 will significantly enhance the utility of the L.A.FANS data for studies of adult health disparities by: 1) Replicating self-reported health measures from L.A.FANS-1 and collecting new self-reports on treatment, health behaviors, functional limitations, quality and quantity of sleep, anxiety, health status vignettes, and changes in health status since the first interview; 2) Collecting physiological markers of disease and health status, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, lung function, immune function, and cardiovascular disease; and 3) Expanding the data collected on adults'' work conditions, stressful experiences, and social ties. Wherever possible, L.A.FANS uses well-tested questions or sections from national surveys, such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS), and National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and other urban surveys, such as the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, to facilitate comparisons. Data Availability: Public use data, study design, and questionnaire content from L.A.FANS are available for downloading. Researchers can also apply for a restricted use version of the L.A.FANS-1 data that contain considerable contextual and geographically-referenced information. Application procedures are described at the project Website. L.A.FANS-2 fieldwork was completed at the end of 2008. The PIs anticipate L.A.FANS-2 public use data will be released in summer 2009. * Dates of Study: 2000-2008 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: ** 2000-1: 2,548 (L.A.FANS 1) ** 2006-8: ~3,600 (L.A.FANS 2) Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00172
