Shared Resources and Infrastructure Awardees
Much of current cancer research is dependent upon access to resources such as new technologies, well curated specimens and associated data, databases of existing cancer related data, and targeted animal models, to name a few. It is critical for researchers and organizations located across Washington State to leverage resources such as these to advance cancer research and accelerate biologic discoveries to improve cancer care and health outcomes. The Shared Resources and Infrastructure grant is intended to bolster Washington State’s cancer research ecosystem by supporting efforts to plan, develop, or support shared resources that will advance cancer research in Washington State. Shared resources are research tools, materials, and services that will provide access to, or be used by, multiple cancer research projects or institutions and may include but are not limited to population-based databases, biospecimen acquisition programs, and animal models. Infrastructure is broadly defined as essential to support a shared resource. The grant may not be used to purchase real property.
