## Abstract

Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): LLOYD, KEVIN C KENT
The Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center (MMRRC) is the nation's primary mutant mouse archive
and distribution repository system. The MMRRC was established by the NIH to ensure the preservation,
dissemination, and development of valuable mutant mouse lines and data generated by research scientists.
The MMRRC is a consortium of four Centers, each hosting an archive and distribution repository, and an
Informatics Coordination and Service Center (ICSC) within a trans-national network regionally distributed
across the United States. The Centers collectively serve the needs of the nation's biomedical research
community, ensuring access to and optimizing utilization of transgenic, knockout and other genetically
engineered mutant mice and related biomaterials, services, and new technologies. The Centers import, verify,
maintain, and distribute mice, gene-targeted embryonic stem (ES) cells, and germplasm of genetically unique,
scientifically valuable mice. Centers also provide services and procedures to assist investigators using
genetically-altered mice for research. Finally, Centers conduct resource-related research and develops and
refines technologies that further develop mutant mouse lines and that capitalize on the power of mouse
genetics for biomedical research. By depositing their mutant mice in repositories at the Centers, NIH-funded
investigators fulfill their obligation under the NIH Sharing Policy. In return, each of the Centers strives to
preserve, protect, quality control, and provide these models for the benefit of research scientists and
investigators across the nation and the globe. The ultimate goal of the MMRRC is to facilitate research by
identifying, acquiring, evaluating, characterizing, cryopreserving, and distributing mutant mouse strains to
qualified biomedical investigators. The MMRRC ensures that valuable mutant mouse lines are available
equitably across the biomedical research community, thereby accelerating the pace of research discovery
using genetically-altered mice. With input from an External Advisory Committee (EAC) of experts, the long-
term sustainability and relevance of the MMRRC to biomedical research is assured.
