There is a great demand for practical tools that enable scientists to understand the organization of the fields of research of interest to them. This project is an ''unofficial'' (i.e., non-supported by NIH itself) web-based system that helps researchers understand the ''funding landscape'' of a particular field through the use of statistical analysis of the language used in grant applications'' abstracts. Our system is available at https://app.nihmaps.org/, providing both a query- and mapping- based interface for funded NIH-grants from 2007-2010. From its conception, this project has been a highly collaborative team effort. The project''s main driving force has been provided by Ned Talley but has involved ideas, technical support, academic contributions and funding from multiple sources and people.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 6, 2016. The Unified Library Database, or UniLib, takes a library-level view of the EST and SAGE libraries present in NCBI's dbEST, UniGene and SAGEmap resources. This database was initially developed by NCBI in order to track and annotate libraries being generated by NCI's CGAP project. The query bar of the UniLib Library browser provides the most friendly way to navigate through these libraries. When matches to the Library browser query are returned as summaries, full library records can be retrieved through the linked Record retriever.

CFC International is a volunteer, not-for profit, self-help support group for persons and families dealing with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous Syndrome. Incorporated in 1999 in the state of New York, its membership has grown from 21 families in mainly the USA to now include persons from all around the world. Our mission is to strive to help each other cope with the challenges of raising a child with a rare and often medically involved disorder. We act as a clearinghouse of information on all aspects of CFC Syndrome. We publish a quarterly newsletter, produce a brochure and CFC Parent''''s Guide, private address book, host a private family computer list serve and also host a website. We host International family conferences and clinics open to families from all over the globe. Our goal is to educate the general public, the medical profession, and government agencies by disseminating information on CFC Syndrome. We work to facilitate research on this very rare syndrome. We have a medical/scientific advisory board consisting of doctors from different regions of the world who have a committed interest in our CFC children. We maintain the most extensive registry for CFC Syndrome patients in the world. The Registry provides resources for the study of CFC Syndrome. It maintains centralized information records on CFC Syndrome cases from around the world. Confidentiality of personal information regarding incidence, genetics, clinical course, and prognosis is provided to professionals and families. The Registry also serves to improve communication of ideas among interested researchers, and to assure rapid distribution of any new information that may benefit patients or their families. As part of this medical registry we are founding members of the Genetic Alliance BioBank. The BioBank contains the largest collection of DNA and tissue samples from CFC patients and their parents.

The OvCaRe Tissue Bank is housed within the Vancouver General Hospital Department of Pathology and the British Columbia Cancer Agency. This bank contains tumour samples from over 1100 patients. The tissue samples in the bank are collected from consenting patients within 30 minutes of surgical excision and stored in a variety of forms, including snap frozen, formalin fixed, and as live cells. As of 2007, serum, plasma, and buffy coat are also being collected for every case within the tissue bank. In addition to providing research material for OvCaRe researchers, the OvCaRe Tumour Bank is more active than any other tumour bank in sending samples to research collaborators and has already contributed to 43 national and international research projects. This and other tissue banks provide the foundation for translational research in medicine. In order for these samples to be used by current technologies such as Illumina whole transcriptome sequencing, the samples must be of extremely high quality. We have currently sent a selection of our samples to The Cancer Genome Atlas Project for analysis and were told by researchers there that our samples were among the best quality that they had encountered around the world. Serum Bank The OvCaRe serum bank is located at the British Columbia Cancer Agency. This bank contains over 10,000 serum samples that have been submitted for CA-125 testing as well as samples collected from patients who have consented to have their tumours submitted to the OvCaRe Tumour Bank. Like the tumour bank, these resources are available to collaborating researchers. Ovarian Cancer Tissue Microarrays The ovarian cancer tissue microarray facility from all available early ovarian cancer cases in the province for the period 1984-2000 (541 samples) was created by Dr. Blake Gilks and is the largest tissue microarray of early ovarian cancer samples. This population based series was generated in the Genetic Pathology Evaluation Center (GPEC), a laboratory supported by a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Unit Grant and is being used by over 20 different local and international collaborative studies. Two other ovarian cancer tissue microarrays are also built and are available to interested collaborators. All samples in the tissue microarray are linked to clinical outcomes at the Cheryl Brown Ovarian Cancer Outcomes Unit.
