This award supports the development of HTORR as a leading human tissue research resource, providing diverse biospecimens and advancing scientific tissue collection to support research across all body systems.
Description
The overarching objective of this proposal is to continue the development of the Human Tissue and Organs for Research Resource (HTORR) as the foremost, project-driven human tissue research resource for organs and tissues for Principal Investigators (PIs) studying the full extent of human biology and disease states across all body systems. Using a project-driven biospecimen collection approach, HTORR provides a diverse range of biospecimens for these studies, such as whole organs, anatomical structures, fluids, tissues, and cells. HTORR’s innovative 360° feedback model spearheads the advancement of HTORR’s scientific tissue collection framework via providing continuous feedback across three foundational pillars of the program: 1) Scientific Support, 2) Sample Diversity, and 3) Career Development of Principal Investigators (PIs). The program aims to evolve in tandem with NIH’s high priority scientific needs and emerging research methodologies.
