# MAPP Research Network Tissue Analysis and Technology Core

> **NIH NIH U24** · UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER · 2020 · $90,000

## Abstract

The TATC at the University of Colorado will continue to provide expertise and resources in support of the MAPP‐RN
during the proposed MAPP‐Phase II extension period. The TATC was established to assist the MAPP‐RN with
biospecimen collection, processing, and analyses.
The TATC will work closely with the MAPP Executive and Steering Committees, the NIDDK, the Discovery Site
Teams, and the Data Coordinating Core to ensure that the goals of the MAPP RN are met. The TATC will meet all
NIH quality standards and will work closely with the DCC and the NIDDK Central Repository to coordinate eventual
transfer of all residual biospecimens and ancillary data to the Central Repository before the end of the three‐year
extension period.
The current funding period ends in June 2019. We propose a three‐year funding extension, through June 2022 to
accomplish the following:
SPECIFIC AIM 1 Provide Biorepository Support to the MAPP RN. The TATC will continue to act as the
central repository during the extended 12-month follow up window for all biospecimens collected in the SPS
study and provide biospecimen collection kits, procedural guidance on specimen collection, handling,
centralized processing, and archiving in support of MAPP-II.
SPECIFIC AIM 2: Collaborate with the DCC on specimen-associated data collection and tracking. We
will continue to closely collaborate with the Data Coordination Core (DCC) on best practices for data collection,
specimen tracking and storage, and to support technical processes between the two cores, as well as
coordinate procedures for coding, shipping, processing, receipt, storage of specimens, and the transfer of
biospecimens and study data to the NIDDK Central Data and Specimen Repositories.
SPECIFIC AIM 3: To continue participation in the Working Groups and in data analysis and manuscript
preparation in support of MAPP-RN. We will continue to participate in the MAPP Executive and Steering
committee meetings and calls. We will continue to be active partcipants in the MAPP RN Working Groups to
collaborate on idea and hypothesis development, data analysis and manuscript preparation.
