Abstract: Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) seek to obtain OMB approval to extend the Specimen Resource Locator (SRL) collection for an additional three (3) years. The availability of specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of cancer biology and to translate important research discoveries into clinical applications. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical biospecimens. In response to this need, the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed and is expanding a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The SRL allows scientists in the research community and the NCI to locate specimens needed for their research. The SRL list non-commercial, either NCI or non-NCI-supported human biorepositories and their links. This administrative submission is an online form that collects information to manage and improve a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This submission does not involve any analysis.
