CORE--POPULATION RESOURCES

人口资源核心的目的是提供一个 数据库中包含的所有人口特征数据 程序项目。 这一核心设施包括： 人口招募; B）调查表工具; c）方法 （d）生物样品采集的人口统计学描述; 研究人群; e）个人的人口统计数据 包括研究人群; f）谱系结构; g）家族史 信息; h）来源于临床的数据; i）临床信息 （病历、病理报告等）; j）肿瘤登记数据; k） 死亡登记，死亡率信息; l）生物样本说明 收集（血清库、组织库）; m）来自现场的实验室结果 研究中心（塞内加尔、中国、阿拉斯加）和合作研究者 (e.g. Santella，谢菲尔德）实验室数据，来自通用实验室 服务核心。 《人口资源核心》所载资料可供查阅 一个项目的调查员。 数据分析和 实验室研究由核心进行;相反， 其核心是： 第一章 提供基于计算机的工具，便于存储和 检索拟议研究中产生的数据。 因此 该核心的主要目的是生成和维护工作的， “生产”数据库，提供对公共资源的访问， 信息. 2)提供可用人群的详细描述 3)确保人口数据库的准确性 4)组织和维护数据库，以最大限度地提高其可访问性 5)项目间信息关联 通过为所有参与者提供数据访问权限，并确保 数据的质量，我们相信，这一核心设施不仅 促进实现个别项目的目标，但也 鼓励进行超出项目既定目标的探索性分析。

The purpose of the Population Resources Core is to provide a central repository for all of the data characterizing populations included in the program project. Included in this core facility are: a) methods of recruitment of the populations; b) questionnaire instruments; c) methods of biosample collection; d) demographic descriptions of populations from which study populations were drawn; e) demographic data on individuals comprising study populations; f) pedigree structures; g) family history information; h) questionnaire-derived data; i) clinical information (patient records, pathology reports, etc.); j) tumor registry data; k) death registry, mortality information; l) description of the biosample collection (serum library, tissue bank); m) laboratory results from field study sites (Senegal, China, Alaska) and collaborating investigators (e.g. Santella, Sheffield) laboratory data from the General Laboratory Services Core. The information contained in the Population Resources Core is available to an investigators in the program project. Neither analyses of data nor laboratory studies are performed by the core; rather, the objectives of the core are to: 1) provide computer-based tools that facilitate the storage and retrieval of the data generated in the proposed research. Thus, the primary purpose of this core is to generate and maintain a working, "production" data base that provides access to common resources and information. 2) provide detailed descriptions of the available populations 3) insure the accuracy of the population data bases 4) organize and maintain the data bases to maximize their accessibility 5) correlate information among the projects By providing access to the data for all participants, as well as assuring the quality of the data, we believe that this core facility will not only facilitate achievement of the aims of the individual projects, but also encourage exploratory analyses beyond the stated aims of the projects.
