罕見(jiàn)癌癥研究基金會(huì )(RCRF),致力于通過(guò)戰略投資和創(chuàng )新合作進(jìn)行基礎治療罕見(jiàn)的癌癥,和美國文化募捐組織(ATCC),世界上最大的非營(yíng)利性細胞株庫,建立神經(jīng)內分泌腫瘤細胞株收集目錄。腸道良性腫瘤和胰腺神經(jīng)內分泌腫瘤(PNET)需求一種新療法的研究和發(fā)展,即在體內原發(fā)性腫瘤中建立新的細胞株。
為了刺激發(fā)展新的良性腫瘤和PNET細胞系,該基金會(huì )是高興地宣布第二次開(kāi)放競爭十個(gè)人獎項:開(kāi)發(fā)人員的第一個(gè)新的細胞系在每個(gè)疾病(腸道良性腫瘤和PNET)將獲得100000美元,開(kāi)發(fā)者的第二,第三,第四,第五個(gè)新細胞系在每個(gè)疾病將會(huì )收到50000美元。原文如下:https://www.innocentive.com/ar/challenge/9933756
The lack of well-validated and widely accepted cell lines derived from intestinal carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) is a significant barrier for research and development of new therapies. The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation therefore wishes to launch a second Challenge to stimulate a concerted effort to create a “collection” of well-characterized cell lines that faithfully replicate tumor characteristics and genetics. The Foundation has partnered with the Rare Cancer Research Foundation (RCRF), a foundation dedicated to curing rare cancers through strategic investments and innovative collaborations, and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), the world’s largest non-profit cell line repository, to establish a Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Line collection in their catalog.
This is a Reduction-to-Practice Challenge that requires written documentation, detailed description of each cell line, and sample delivery.

Challenge Overview
This Challenge is intended to encourage innovative approaches to establishing new cell lines from primary tumors that grow slowly in vivo and to publicize new methods as well as availability of the new cell lines for broad, unrestricted use.
To stimulate development of new carcinoid and PNET cell lines, the Foundation is pleased to announce its second open competition for up to ten individual prizes: Developers of the first new cell lines in each disease (intestinal carcinoid and PNET) will receive $100,000 each and developers of the second, third, fourth, and fifth new cell lines in each disease will receive $50,000 each.
