The MRC and Cancer Funders'' Forum (now National Cancer Research Institute, NCRI) established two cancer collaboratives in 2002, ProMPT and the Southern Collaborative. Their purpose was to increase the critical mass of basic and translational cancer researchers working on prostate cancer. The Collaboratives have both been successful in raising external grant income over the past 5 or 6 years and the current funding is very much geared around infrastructure to help with bio-marker development. This includes the establishment of biorepositories and tissue collections together with appropriate epidemiological and clinical information. The ProMPT collaborative is organized by Professor David Neal, Chair of Surgical Oncology in Cambridge. The other institutions include the Universities of Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sheffield and York. The collaborative is very much working on translational aspects of prostate cancer research and has available to it a wide range of models. The Bristol group is working on epidemiological aspects and IGF, the Manchester group is working on stem cells, the Newcastle group is focused on target identification and validation and new drug development. Sheffield is working on model systems, bone metastasis and angiogenesis, York''s expertise is stem cells, structural biology and prostate specific gene targeting., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Demystifying Depression is a wiki book on depression that is downloadable as a PDF file. This book may not have been written by a doctor. The recommendations are not referenced to actual research except in a bibliography. This document should in no way serve as a substitute for medical advice. Experts are welcome to add their comments. Depression is a mood disorder, so start many descriptions of the illness. That is a gross understatement. Depression does indeed seriously affect your mood, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. A clinical depression can be an incapacitating illness, affecting your ability to perform tasks that require concentration and rendering you unable to work. By writing this document we hope to provide you with the knowledge everyone should have about their mental well-being. Depression is not an unavoidable fate. It is physical.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.

Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation (SMHF) was established in 1974, with Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa, founder and first chairman of the Nippon Foundation (TNF) as President, and Professor Morizo Ishidate, father of chemotherapy of Hansen''s Disease (HD) in Japan, as chair. The principal objective of SMHF is to eliminate HD, a disease which has struck fear into human beings for millennia and stigmatized those it touched. SMHF approaches HD not only as a public health problem but also as a social and human issue. Apart from HD, the work of SMHF covers many of issues within the realm of basic health needs. In doing so SMHF has always respected the ownership by the people, of their own health related needs. SMHF believes in sharing resources and knowledge, rather than creating a situation in which the ''haves'' give to the ''have-nots''. Through this we would like to share with you the joy of working together across national borders for the benefit of people in need. Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation provides grants to projects implemented by non-profit organizations based outside of Japan. Funding Areas: Hansen''s disease (HD), Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), and Palliative Care (For Japan based Applicants Only)
