Launched in October 2007, TFRI is the brainchild of the Terry Fox Foundation. TFRI involves collaboration between cancer hospitals and research organizations across Canada, and will occur initially in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. TFRI will support translational cancer research projects with the potential to significantly improve the health of cancer patients. TFRI is organized into functionally integrated yet geographically dispersed nodes. Regional cancer hospitals and research organizations participate in each node by providing space for researchers and by arranging for the participation of cancer patients in research projects. At each node, two node co-ordinators provide leadership, and bring together local scientific and clinical research teams to propose and manage specific projects. The TFRI headquarters team liaises with the TFRI nodes and provides direction, co-ordination and facilitates communication across the entire organization. The Terry Fox Foundation has committed a minimum of $50 million (CAN) over five years from donations obtained during the 25th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope and from new funds anticipated and those raised since 2005. Other partners sharing the same vision are being sought who will be asked to commit additional resources to support the ongoing work of the TFRI.

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.

Draw3D is a 3D rendering tool written entirely in VTK-TCL script. It is intended for fast command line rendering and visual inspection of datasets commonly found in medical imaging. It also allows the generation of images for reports or videos. As it is based on pure VTK, it can render whatever VTK can render, and runs wherever VTK can run. Meshinator is a simpler tool that uses VTKs isosurface functions to generate meshes from volumetric data. Please see the wiki for documentation
