A prospective observational national cohort study poised to make fundamental insights into the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults with intended long-term follow up. The major goals of the CRIC Study are to answer two important questions: * Why does kidney disease get worse in some people, but not in others? * Why do persons with kidney disease commonly experience heart disease and stroke? The CRIC Scientific and Data Coordinating Center at Penn receives data and provides ongoing support for a number of Ancillary Studies approved by the CRIC Cohort utilizing both data collected about CRIC study participants as well as their biological samples. The CRIC Study has enrolled over 3900 men and women with CKD from 13 recruitment sites throughout the country. Following this group of individuals over the past 10 years has contributed to the knowledge of kidney disease, its treatment, and preventing its complications. The NIDDKwill be extending the study for an additional 5 years, through 2018. An extensive set of study data is collected from CRIC Study participants. With varying frequency, data are collected in the domains of medical history, physical measures, psychometrics and behaviors, biomarkers, genomics/metabolomics, as well as renal, cardiovascular and other outcomes. Measurements include creatinine clearance and iothalamate measured glomerular filtration rate. Cardiovascular measures include blood pressure, ECG, ABI, ECHO, and EBCT. Clinical CV outcomes include MI, ischemic heart disease-related death, acute coronary syndromes, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and composite outcomes. The CRIC Study has delivered in excess of 150,000 bio-samples and a dataset characterizing all 3939 CRIC participants at the time of study entry to the NIDDKnational repository. The CRIC Study will also be delivering a dataset to NCBI''''s Database for Genotypes and Phenotypes.

NIDDK Central Repositories are two separate contract funded components that work together to store data and samples from significant, NIDDK funded studies. First component is Biorepository that gathers, stores, and distributes biological samples from studies. Biorepository works with investigators in new and ongoing studies as realtime storage facility for archival samples.Second component is Data Repository that gathers, stores and distributes incremental or finished datasets from NIDDK funded studies Data Repository helps active data coordinating centers prepare databases and incremental datasets for archiving and for carrying out restricted queries of stored databases. Data Repository serves as Data Coordinating Center and website manager for NIDDK Central Repositories website.

Repository of biospecimen and phenotype data collected from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis cases and controls recruited at six sites throughout North America that are available to the scientific community. Phenotyping is performed using a standardized protocol, and lymphoblastoid cell lines are established for each subject. Phenotype data for each subject are collected by the Consortium's Data Coordinating Center (DCC), and phenotype data for all subjects with DNA samples are available. The resulting DNA samples have already been utilized by the Consortium to complete various association studies, including genome-wide association studies using dense genotyping arrays. Researchers can obtain DNA samples and phenotype, genotype, and pedigree data through the Data Repository. GWAS data must be requested through dbGAP. The IBDGC is involved with independent genetic research studies and actively works with members of the IBD and genetic communities on collaborative projects. They are also members of the International IBD Genetics Consortium. Phenotype Tools: The Consortium Phenotype Committee, led by Dr. Hillary Steinhart designed and validated paper forms to collect extensive phenotype data on Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. Consortium phenotype tools are available for use by non-Consortium members.

NLM collects, organizes, and makes available biomedical science information to scientists, health professionals, and the public. The Library's Web-based databases, including PubMed/Medline and MedlinePlus, are used extensively around the world. NLM conducts and supports research in biomedical communications; creates information resources for molecular biology, biotechnology, toxicology, and environmental health; and provides grant and contract support for training, medical library resources, and biomedical informatics and communications research. Celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2011, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), in Bethesda, Maryland, is a part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Since its founding in 1836 as the library of the U.S. Army Surgeon General, NLM has played a pivotal role in translating biomedical research into practice. It is the world's largest biomedical library and the developer of electronic information services that deliver trillions of bytes of data to millions of users every day. Scientists, health professionals, and the public in the United States and around the globe search the Library's online information resources more than 1 billion times each year. The Library is open to all and has many services and resources for scientists, health professionals, historians, and the general public. NLM has over 17 million books, journals, manuscripts, audiovisuals, and other forms of medical information on its shelves, making it the largest health-science library in the world. In today's increasingly digital world, NLM carries out its mission of enabling biomedical research, supporting health care and public health, and promoting healthy behavior by: * Acquiring, organizing, and preserving the world's scholarly biomedical literature; * Providing access to biomedical and health information across the country in partnership with the 5,800-member National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM); * Serving as a leading global resource for building, curating and providing sophisticated access to molecular biology and genomic information, including those from the Human Genome Project and NIH Common Fund; * Creating high-quality information services relevant to toxicology and environmental health, health services research, and public health; * Conducting research and development on biomedical communications systems, methods, technologies, and networks and information dissemination and utilization among health professionals, patients, and the general public; * Funding advanced biomedical informatics research and serving as the primary supporter of pre- and post-doctoral research training in biomedical informatics at 18 U.S. universities.
