The Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) is dedicated to reducing the administrative burden on researchers and improving business intelligence capacity of research institutions and funders.The Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) aim is to improve the flow of information within and between research stakeholders by developing and maintaining a common and extensible dictionary of terms and exchangeable business objects to advance collaboration. The members include research-performing and research-funding organizations, as well as the service providers that support them. CASRAI goal is to create a central and standardized method for research teams to quickly produce any documents needed by funders and institutions. CASRAI aims to have the following outcomes: save time for researchers in applying & reporting to their funding agencies; Improve access to quality data for institutions and funders; Simplify the measurement of research impacts on society; Provide peer networking opportunities for teams tackling administrative data issues

The Consortium on Adventitious Agent Contamination in Biomanufacturing (CAACB) aims to advance the safe and reliable production of biopharmaceuticals by mitigating the risk of cell culture contamination through agents such as viruses or mycoplasma, by creating a central database of accumulated industry knowledge. Currently, industrial knowledge about contaminating adventitious agents and successful approaches to combat these specific agents is largely limited to each company''s individual experience. The collection, analysis and dissemination of the full body of industry experience would enhance the reliable manufacture and supply of such safe and effective medications. This consortium operates under the umbrella of MIT Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI).

EU funded consortium including over 30 partner from academia and industry. BiomarCaRE aims to determine the value of established and emerging biomarkers to improve risk estimation of cardiovascular disease in Europe. BiomarCaRE relies on an exceptional resource of large scale epidemiological cohorts with long term follow-up and available bio specimens based on the population of the MORGAM Project as well as several cardiovascular disease cohorts and clinical trials.

Consortium aiming to identify the remaining genetic risk variants for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). To increase the statistical power needed to identify genes that have small, yet significant contributions to AMD, the consortium is conducting a meta-analysis on 15 Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) pooled from consortium members representing over 8,000 patients with advanced AMD (dry type, neovascular, or both) and 50,000 controls. In addition to verifying known genes, the consortium identified 19 new gene variants. The genes identified in these studies function in the immune system, cholesterol transport and metabolism, and formation and maintenance of connective tissue. This study provides a nearly complete picture of genetic heritability for AMD.

The Cancer Genomics of the Kidney (CAGEKID) consortium brings together expertise in clinical care and epidemiology with genomic expertise. This consortium is an effort of the larger International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), which has the goal of obtaining a comprehensive description of genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in 50 different tumour types and/or subtypes with the aim of elucidating the genomic changes present in the many forms of cancers that contribute to the burden of disease throughout the world.

A project''s launch partners are three research studies that have an established record crowd-sourcing health data for research studies. One initiatives is the Personal Genome Project, established at geneticist George Church''s Harvard lab, which creates a freely available scientific resource that brings together genomic, environmental and human trait data. These data are donated by volunteers enrolled in a PGP study from our global network. A second partner is the GoViral project, started by researchers at Harvard University and New York University, which enables volunteers to provide easy-to-collect specimens when sick with a respiratory infection, and get confirmation of what type of viral illness they have. By testing samples when symptoms occur, participants can validate symptomatic reports as well as enable a better understanding of the representativeness of self-reported data and symptom profiles for different acute respiratory illnesses. Third on the list is the American Gut project, based at the University of California-San Diego and the University of Chicago, which is studying the vast microbial flora that inhabit the human digestive system from crowd-sourced (and properly sealed) samples of feces or skin swabs.

The FP-CIT SPECT brain template has been created using a fully automatic procedure involving posterization of the source image to three levels: background, brain and striatum. We performed a spatial affine registration of these 40 posterized source images to a posterized reference image in the MNI space. The intensity values of the transformed images is normalized linearly, assuming that the histogram of the intensity values follows an alpha-stable distribution. Lastly, we built the [123I]FP-CIT SPECT template by the mean of the transformed and normalized images. More info: 1) Salas-Gonzalez et al.
