Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) is the international organization of scientists involved in human genetics. HUGO was conceived in 1988, at the first meeting on genome mapping and sequencing at Cold Spring Harbor. From a 42 scientists of 17 countries membership association, HUGO has increased its membership base to over 1,200 members, both established and aspiring of 69 countries after two decades. HUGO has, over the years, played an essential role behind the scenes of the human genome project. With its mission to promote international collaborative effort to study the human genome and the myriad issues raised by knowledge of the genome, HUGO has had noteworthy successes in some of the less glamorous, but nonetheless vital, aspects of the human genome project. As a truly international organization, HUGO is entering its 20th year of its history by making an inflection in its direction seeking the biological meaning of its information content. To this end, HUGO is focusing on the medical implications of genomic knowledge. Moving forward, HUGO is also working to enhance the genomic capabilities in the emerging countries of the world. The excitement and interest in genomic sciences in Asia, Middle East, South America and Africa are palpable and the hope is that these technologies will help in national development and health.

The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation is an independent, nonprofit institute headquartered in Ardmore, Okla. Founded in 1945, the Noble Foundation conducts direct operations, including assisting farmers and ranchers, and conducting plant science research and agricultural programs, to enhance agricultural productivity regionally, nationally and internationally. Employing more than 360 persons, the Noble Foundation conducts its operations through the activities of three operating divisions: * Agricultural Division: Serving a 47-county area within a 100-mile radius of the Noble Foundation''s headquarters in Ardmore, Okla., the Agricultural Division assists more than 1,700 regional farmers and ranchers in achieving their individual financial, production, stewardship and quality-of life goals. * Plant Biology Division: The Plant Biology Division conducts basic biochemical, genetic and genomic plant research for the purpose of improving crop productivity and value, and enhancing animal and human health. * Forage Improvement Division: The Forage Improvement Division translates basic plant science research into tangible plant varieties. Within the institution, the Forage Improvement Division serves as a link between the discoveries in the laboratory and the field, where such discoveries are intended to enhance agricultural outcomes in Oklahoma and around the world. The coordinated efforts of these operating divisions enable the Noble Foundation agricultural specialists and scientists to move science and innovation from the laboratory to the field, giving life to discovery and improving agriculture in Oklahoma, in the United States and around the world.

This site is intended to increase the nation''s ability to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies. Emergency preparedness requires attention not just to specific types of hazards but also to steps that increase preparedness for any type of hazard. The resources in this website are intended to help professionals take an all-hazards approach to preparedness. People prepared for emerging health threats-people in all communities will be protected from infectious, occupational, environmental, and terrorist threats, is one of CDC''s four health protection goals. CDC plays a key role in preparing the nation for all types of public health threats, including natural, biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear incidents. When a disaster occurs, CDC is prepared to respond and support national, state, and local partners to save lives and reduce suffering. CDC also helps these partners recover and restore public health functions after the initial response. National emergency preparedness requires a coordinated effort involving every level of government as well as the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and individual citizens. CDC''s work in preparedness supports the Department of Homeland Security, which has overall authority for emergency response activities as laid out in the National Response Framework. Protecting the public from health threats involves public health preparedness as well as medical preparedness. Both are essential for national health security and, hence, to the overall preparedness of the nation. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Supports cross-cutting, trans-NIH programs that require participation by at least two NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) or would otherwise benefit from strategic planning and coordination. The requirements for the Common Fund encourage collaboration across the ICs while providing the NIH with flexibility to determine priorities for Common Fund support. To date, the Common Fund has been used to support a series of short term, exceptionally high impact, trans-NIH programs known collectively as the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. The Common Fund is coordinated by the Office of Strategic Coordination, one of the six offices of the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI) within the Office of the Director. The intent of NIH Common Fund programs is to provide a strategic and nimble approach to address key roadblocks in biomedical research that impede basic scientific discovery and its translation into improved human health. In addition, these programs capitalize on emerging opportunities to catalyze the rate of progress across multiple biomedical fields. Common Fund programs are expected to transform the way a broad spectrum of health research is conducted. Initiatives that comprise Common Fund programs are intended to be catalytic in nature by providing limited term investments in strategic areas to stimulate further research through IC-funded mechanisms.

The mission of The Progeria Research Foundation is to discover treatments and the cure for Progeria, and its aging related disorders. Progeria is a rare and fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. Without the discovery of new treatments, all children with Progeria will die of heart disease at an average age of 13 years. The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was founded in 1999 in response to the complete lack of progress being made to help children with Progeria. We have filled a void, taking these children out of the background where they had been for over 100 years and putting them and Progeria at the forefront of scientific efforts. In just 11.5 years, we have achieved extraordinary progress towards our mission: the Progeria gene discovery in 2003, first-ever clinical drug trials initiated in 2007, extensive global awareness of the disease and PRF''s work, and discovery of critical biological links between Progeria, heart disease and aging we all experience.

Open-access database of antibodies against human proteins developed through collaboration between Antibodypedia AB and the Nature Publishing Group. It aims to provide the scientific community and antibody distributors alike with information on the effectiveness of specific antibodies in specific applications--to help scientists select the right antibody for the right application. Antibodypedia's mission is to promote the functional understanding of the human proteome and expedite analysis of potential biomarkers discovered through clinical efforts. To this end, they have developed an open-access, curated, searchable database containing annotated and scored affinity reagents to aid users in selecting antibodies tailored to specific biological and biomedical assays. They envisage Antibodypedia as a virtual repository of validated antibodies against all human, and ultimately most model-organism, proteins. Such a tool will be exploitable to identify affinity reagents to document protein expression patterns in normal and pathological states and to purify proteins alone and in complex for structural and functional analyses. They hope to promote characterization of the roles and interplay of proteins and complexes in human health and disease. They encourage commercial providers to submit information regarding their inventory of antibodies with links to quality control data. Independent users can submit their own application-specific experimental data using standard validation criteria (supportive or non-supportive) developed with the assistance of an international advisory board recruited from academic research institutions. Users can also comment on specific antibodies without submitting validation data.
