Based at the Douglas Research Centre, the Douglas Brain Bank (DBB) houses a large collection of brains from people with diverse psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder and substance use disorders, as well as brains from individuals with various neurological and developmental disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimers disease and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In addition, the DBCBB manages a large relational database containing demographic, clinical and developmental histories from donors.

A repository of information related to Huntington's disease and its causes, progression, treatments, and possible cures. It stores and accepts data and specimens to accelerate research on Huntington's disease and provides scientists with prospectively collected clinical data and biological specimens. The COHORT sample includes individuals which manifest Huntington's disease (HD), unaffected individuals known to carry the HD gene or who are at risk of carrying the HD gene, and family members who have no risk for HD (control subjects). Clinical data includes demographics, clinical features, family history, and genetic characteristics. Biological specimens include blood with a potential of collecting urine or other samples in the future. The COHORT biological specimen repository will provide research specimens for current and future scientific research aimed at developing useful biomarkers of HD.

Community Tissue Services (CTS), a not-for-profit tissue bank, was founded in Dayton, Ohio in 1986 as a division of the Community Blood Center. The tissue bank was established to help patients in need of life saving or life enhancing tissue grafts. CTS'' goal is to educate the community of the importance of tissue donation so that families can make informed decisions about the options of donation. CTS serves the public through recovery, processing and distribution of human tissue grafts used for transplantation. Since 1994, CTS has expanded its Dayton, Ohio operations into Texas, Oregon, California, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, with over 300 employees nationwide. CTS is an accredited member of the American Association of Tissue Banks and CTS-CTIR is ISO 13485 certified. Strongly committed to providing the highest quality of tissues for transplantation, the tissue bank complies with all federal and state regulations. CTS is currently one of the largest US tissue banks, distributing nearly 10% of the tissue grafts in the United States. CTS is the largest nonprofit provider of skin grafts to surgeons for severe burn patients.

The Living Legacy Foundation is the non-profit organ and tissue donation program serving the state of Maryland, with the exception of three counties (Charles, Montgomery, and Prince Georges). We facilitate the life-saving process of organ and tissue donation, celebrate the generous gifts of organ and tissue donors, support our donor families and educate others about the importance of registering as a donor. Our organization was incorporated in 1990, consolidating the former Maryland Organ Procurement Center and the Maryland Tissue Bank. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services accredits us as an organ procurement organization, and the State of Maryland licenses us as a Tissue Bank. Our tissue bank is accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks. We are governed by a 25 member Board of Directors, which includes general public members, transplant recipient representatives and donor family members. Our Board also includes transplant physicians, surgeons and administrators from the two Baltimore organ transplant centers (the University of Maryland Medical Center and The Johns Hopkins Hospital).

This toolbox contains many kinds of kits that you may be interested in during fMRI data analysis. This toolbox is a homebrew kits built during practical ASL(arterial spin labeling) based CBF data analysis. Meanwhile, this toolbox is also compatible with BOLD data analysis. Everyone would find something useful for their own data analysis! This toolbox is run and tested on SPM8 with MATLAB 7.6.0(R2008a) under the Linux OS. Theoretically, most of the functions (except the menu1&2 which are specially designed for the Batch Editor of SPM8) of this toolbox should be compatible with SPM5 and should also work smoothly under the Windows OS. Feel free to give feedback to authors if you encounter any bugs or problems.

A non-profit organization that promotes research on hearing and balance disorders. The Registry database allows researchers to perform simple searches to locate specimens of interest. The results show the laboratories where specimens that match the query are located. Investigators should contact the individual laboratories for studying the specimens or for access to the sections. The Registry also serves the public and the scientific community through the dissemination of public information on temporal bone donation and research, enrollment of temporal bone donors, publication of The Registry, a newsletter for researchers, conservation of existing human temporal bone collections, and professional educational activities for physicians and scientists.

National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) is a nonprofit organization committed to finding a cure for brain tumors. We aggressively drive strategic research, advocate for public policies that meet the critical needs of the brain tumor community, and provide patient information. Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, with offices in San Francisco, California and Wilmington, Delaware, we host activities throughout the United States. Formed in 2008 by the merger of two leading organizations that had served the brain tumor community, the National Brain Tumor Foundation and the Brain Tumor Society, the National Brain Tumor Society is now the largest brain tumor nonprofit organization in the country. Both legacy organizations had been formed in the 1980s by parents and other people who were committed to increasing both research funding and access to resources specific to brain tumors. In 2010, the Kelly Heinz-Grundner Foundation, a Delaware-based organization, joined NBTS as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Founded in 2005, after the death of Kelly Heinz-Grundner to a brain tumor, the group has contributed to NBTS''s efforts to pursue research and public policies that benefit the brain tumor community. NBTS grant programs are effective for academic researchers, inclusive of industry expertise, and promising for the patient community. All funding is open to both the domestic and international research communities. The Innovation Research Grant Program supports catalytic transformative projects that will significantly move the field forward. These may include out-of-the-box projects or research that is critical to move therapies down the pipeline. Research that represents an incremental advance is not considered innovative. NBTS will accept Innovation Letters of Intent throughout the year. Researchers in academic or industry labs and at all stages of their career may be funded through this program.
