Informatics, Coordination and Service Center for the Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Centers

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学戴维斯分校的信息，协调和服务中心（ICSC）促进了整个多站点突变小鼠资源和研究中心（MMRRC）的组织和活动，其使命是为全球生物医学研究界冷冻保存和分发基因工程小鼠品系和小鼠ES细胞系。公务员制度委员会通过一套单一的、集中的公共和内部服务来实现这一目标。公开地，这些服务将MMRRC作为一个统一的实体呈现出来，极大地简化了品牌识别、捐赠和订购存储库材料的过程，以及访问支持研究材料最佳实践的文档。这是通过MMRRC.org的公共门户网站实现的，该门户网站拥有在线捐赠、产品目录和订购系统，以及一个集中的客户服务中心和一个社区外展和营销计划。在内部，ICSC为所有五个MMRRC中心提供组织骨干。这是通过主持定期的电话会议、对所有存储库馆藏进行集中的生物注释、对数据进行归档来实现的

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Informatics, Coordination, and Service Center (ICSC) at UC Davis facilitates the organization and activities of the entire multi-site Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Centers (MMRRC) in its mission to cryopreserve and distribute genetically engineered mouse strains and mouse ES cell lines for the global biomedical research community. The ICSC accomplishes this goal through a single, centralized set of public and internal services. Publicly, these services present the MMRRC as a unified entity, greatly simplifying brand recognition, the processes of donating and ordering repository materials, and access to documentation supporting best practices with the research materials. This is achieved through the public MMRRC.org web portal with its on line donation, product catalog, and ordering systems as well as a centralized customer service center and a community outreach and marketing program. Internally, the ICSC provides the organizational backbone for all five MMRRC centers. This is accomplished through the hosting of regular teleconferences, the centralized biological annotation of all repository holdings, the archiving of all consortium documentation, and the maintenance of a comprehensive database of all repository holdings and donation and ordering system activity. This application seeks to both maintain the existing ICSC services as well as extend them for the continued and increased benefit of the MMRRC and the global community of researchers whom it serves. In order to meet these goals, we propose the following specific aims: (1) Organize and participate in monthly teleconferences of the MMRRC-CC; (2) Follow the guidelines developed by the MMRRC-CC; (3) Maintain a customer service center and public relations division; (4) Review and process applications from donating investigators; (5) Provide a free, public web site; (6) Provide an order processing system; (7) Provide a central database 8) Provide maintain a secure electronic archive of MMRRC documents; and (9) Develop and maintain methods for comprehensive summary statistics of the progress of the MMRRC project and marketing efforts. The ICSC at UC Davis is willing and capable of continuing the ICSC program. Our group has a highly respected team of informaticians, customer service, and marketing staff with knowledge and experience in mouse biology, transgenics, mutagenesis, embryonic stem (ES) cell biology, cryobiology, genetics, and phenotyping. These same staff have also been integral to the MBP program's internal and external services, the Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) repository, the KOMP2 Production and Phenotyping programs, the UC Davis MMRRC repository, and the International Gene Trap Consortium (IGTC).
