The Cancer Genome Atlas Awards Funds for Technology Development
As part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pilot project, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded eight two-year grants totaling $3.4 million to support the development of innovative technologies for exploring the genomic underpinnings of cancer. The technology development efforts will influence other key components of the TCGA pilot project: three Genome Sequencing Centers, seven Cancer Genome Characterization Centers, a Data Coordination Center and a Biospecimen Core Resource.
