# Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center Annual Meeting

> **NIH NIH R13** · JACKSON LABORATORY · 2020 · $11,640

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The NIH/ORIP/DPCPSI funded, Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center (MMRRC) is a nation-wide
repository of genetically engineered mouse strains created by and for the biomedical research community. The
MMRRC was established to ensure the preservation, dissemination, and development of these valuable
biological resources and related data. The MMRRC is a consortium of four Centers, each hosting an archive
and distribution hub, and an Informatics Coordination and Service Center (ICSC) within a regionally distributed,
trans-national network. Daily operations, management and short term strategies are discussed between the
Centers and the ICSC by e-mail as well as in monthly consortium-wide teleconferences that involve key
personnel and NIH program staff. However, regular in-person meetings are essential for a functional and
thriving consortium, especially one that is geographically distributed. Therefore, this proposal seeks support for
four, annual in-person meetings of the MMRRC and ICSC principal investigators and key personnel, as well as
the four-member, MMRRC External Advisory Committee who will join the meetings biannually. Moreover,
these meetings will provide access to directors of other NIH funded resources and an opportunity to showcase
the MMRRC to its users – each on a biannual basis. With over 80 years of mouse genetics and repository
experience, The Jackson Laboratory joined the MMRRC in 2009 and since has been a key member of the
consortium. Moreover, the R13 funding mechanism has supported the annual in-person MMRRC center
meetings since the inception of the MMRRC. The Jackson Laboratory is submitting this proposal and will host
the parent grant in the event that it is funded; however, each of the four MMRRC centers will have
responsibility for organization of one of the four meetings. The overarching goals of these meetings are 1) to
provide dedicated time to present center updates and research progress, to articulate new opportunities for
collaboration, to evolve long-term program goals / strategies, plan and strategize responses to MMRRC EAC
and user feed back and 2) to provide a venue for engagement with external advisors, NIH program officials,
MMRRC users and other leaders of the scientific community.
