Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Researchers and institutions seeking access to mutant mouse resources and associated data and services.
✕Less likely to help
Patients are not directly enrolled in this grant; benefits are indirect through faster scientific progress.
What this research studies
This grant funds the Informatics Coordination and Service Center to coordinate four regional repositories that house mutant mice, germplasm, ES cells, antibodies, and NAM resources. It supports data management, website capabilities, customer service, and outreach to researchers, ensuring strains are submitted, reviewed, stored, and reported effectively. The center aims to expand informatics, analytics, and service capabilities so scientists can access high-quality mouse models more efficiently. The work is geared toward enabling biomedical researchers to accelerate discoveries using these mouse resources.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, researchers could more quickly obtain and utilize mouse models and related resources to study human diseases and develop therapies.
How similar studies have gone: There is established infrastructure for national biological resource centers; this effort focuses on enhancing coordination and informatics.
