- Description
- SAIC-Frederick (SAIC-F), on behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), announces its intent to publish, in Spring 2010, a solicitation for a Comprehensive Biospecimen Resource (CBR) that will serve as the essential infrastructure for centralized processing, quality control, molecular validation, storage and distribution of high-quality biospecimens. Under its Prime Contract with the NCI, SAIC-F will issue this solicitation as part of the NCI Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research (OBBR) initiative in support of the cancer Human Biobank (caHUB) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This type of infrastructure will include the multi-disciplinary program essential to the caHUB vision to provide high quality tissue for the cancer research and development enterprise. To meet the caHUB's goals, SAIC-F will award one or more subcontracts to organizations capable of performing functions required for the CBR. Tissues and data procured for caHUB under a separate subcontract will be delivered to the CBR for centralized processing, quality control, diagnostic verification, processing into molecular analytes, storage, other relevant processes, and distribution for qualified research and development. The specifications and guidelines for this body of work will be finalized in negotiations with the successful Subcontractor. caHUB is a new initiative being developed by the NCI Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research. Through an advanced network of tissue acquisition, biorepository operations, pathology review, and bioinformatics capabilities, caHUB will develop the high quality, clinically annotated biospecimens that are essential resources to accelerate the development of molecular-based diagnostics and therapeutics for personalized medicine. Additional information about caHUB may be found at http://www.cancer.gov/recoveryfunding/page10.
