NIH BRAIN AND TISSUE RESPOSITORY (NBTR)

国家精神卫生研究所、国家神经疾病和中风研究所、尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所、国家药物滥用研究所和国家老龄问题研究所;美国国立卫生研究院，寻求继续支持收集和分发人脑组织和生物标本，用于神经学研究，精神和神经发育障碍。 该倡议的目标是提供人类疾病和控制大脑和相关生物标本的访问，促进疾病宣传和患者社区的积极参与，并更有效地获取，处理，表征，策划，存储和分发这些组织用于研究，最终目标是减轻神经系统疾病的负担。 为了做到这一点，NIH将继续通过合同（即，NIH脑和组织储存库[NBTR]）提供主动获取、处理、储存、策划、保存和分发中枢神经系统和相关生物标本给合格研究者的服务。NIH致力于通过竞争性授予的合同支持这些服务。

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA); National Institutes of Health, seek to continue to support the collection and distribution of human brain tissue and biospecimens for research on neurologic, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The objective of this initiative is to provide access to human disease and control brains and related biospecimens, facilitate proactive involvement of the disease advocacy and patient communities, and more efficiently acquire, process, characterize, curate, store, and distribute these tissues for research with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of nervous system disorders. In order to do so, the NIH will continue to support collection sites through contracts (i.e., the NIH Brain and Tissue Repositories [NBTR]) to provide services that will actively acquire, process, store, curate, preserve, and distribute central nervous system and related biological specimens to qualified investigators. The NIH is committed to supporting these services through competitively awarded contracts.
