An agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments that is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics and veterinary products. The FDA also enforces other laws, notably Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, many of which are not directly related to food or drugs. These include sanitation requirements on interstate travel and control of disease on products ranging from certain household pets to sperm donation for assisted reproduction. (Wikipedia)

Project that aims to provide structure and clarity to the research-by-consortium model, presenting both the consortia framework and partnership components in an effort to guide and inform emerging and existing collaborative efforts. Their goal is to ensure that research-by-consortium efforts are at their highest performance and achieving the best possible outcomes. A consortium will thrive if its leadership and governance structure is able to define a mission that's shared by all stakeholders and articulate the desired outcomes of the effort early in the process. For collaborative efforts to move forward, consortia must recognize and leverage the unique strengths and resources that each partner can contribute and bring to fruition. They have found that managing expectations and establishing transparency measures are essential to building trust among all participating stakeholders. Transparency curbs potential conflicts of interest and creates a culture that allows for open sharing of data and a responsible approach to intellectual property negotiations. They found that for collaborations in the medical research and development ecosystem to be effective and sustainable, they must be driven by the ultimate goal of delivering a medical solution that could improve or save lives. Through the project, they are creating several tools for the biomedical research community: * Framework report: This series of reports analyzes a diversity of existing consortia to understand the operational management and framework used to initiate and manage these complex collaborations. * Consortium database * Landscape analysis trends and intended output * Educational webinars and spotlights

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented October 13, 2014. The resource has moved to the NIDDKInformation Network (dkNET) project. Contact them at info_at_dknet.org with any questions. Database of large pools of data relevant to the mission of NIDDKwith the goal of developing a community-based network for integration across disciplines to include the larger DKuniverse of diseases, investigators, and potential users. The focus is on greater use of this data with the objective of adding value by breaking down barriers between sites to facilitate linking of different datasets. To date (2013/06/10), a total of 1,195 resources have been associated with one or more genes. Of 11,580 total genes associated with resources, the ten most represented are associated with 359 distinct resources. The main method by which they currently interconnect resources between the providers is via EntrezGene identifiers. A total of 780 unique genes provide the connectivity between 3,159 resource pairs across consortia. To further increase interconnectivity, the groups have been further annotating their data with additional gene identifiers, publications, and ontology terms from selected Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO).

Database designed for web-based examination of the human erythroid transcriptome. The database is organized to provide a cytogenetic band position, a unique name as well as a concise annotation for each entry. Search queries may be performed by name, keyword or cytogenetic location. Search results are linked to primary sequence data and three major human genome browsers for access to information considered current at the time of each search. Hembase provides interested scientists and clinical hematologists with a genome-based approach toward the study of erythroid biology. Red blood cells in the circulation arise from hematopoietic stem cells that proliferate as erythroid progenitors and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells in response to the hormone erythropoietin. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.
