ECOG Specimen Banking

描述（由申请人提供）： ECOG标本库是ECOG中快速扩展的转化科学计划的关键部分。它们也是ECOG成员机构和非ECOG研究中心的临床和基础科学家可用的宝贵资源。 ECOG对成立集团银行委员会（GBC）充满热情，并致力于与该委员会合作制定统一的政策，确保有价值的样本和数据的可用性。一个稳定和充足的资金基础将是确保我们在ECOG和整个系统内的相关研究充分发挥潜力的第一个重要步骤。 具体而言，西非经共体提出了以下具体目标： 1)确保所需的基础设施，使集团能够在当前范围和高质量水平下维持其未来的组织库活动。 2)提供高质量的统一采集标本库，并提供经验证的临床和结局数据。 3)在GBC的工作中担任合作者和协调者。 4)向其他研究者（ECOG研究和外部研究者）提供其数据库，以促进研究和临床进步。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ECOG specimen banks are a critical part of a rapidly expanding program of translational science in ECOG. They are also a valuable resource available to clinical and basic scientists both at ECOG member institutions and at non-ECOG sites. ECOG is enthusiastic about the establishment of the Group Banking Committee (GBC) and is committed to working with the committee to establish uniform policies and ensuring the availability of valuable specimens and data. A stable and adequate funding base will be the first essential step in securing the full potential for our correlative research, within ECOG and throughout the entire system. Specifically, ECOG proposes as its specific aims: 1) To assure the infrastructure needed to enable the Group to maintain its future tissue banking activities at their current breadth of scope and high degree of quality. 2) To provide high quality banks of uniformly collected specimens with validated clinical and outcome data. 3) To act as a collaborator and coordinator in the undertakings of the GBC's efforts. 4) To make available its banks to other investigators {ECOG investigations and external investigators) in order to promote research and clinical advancements.
