We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please
sign in and mark grants as correct or incorrect matches.

P50Activity Code Description: To support any part of the full range of research and development from very basic to clinical; may involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. These grants differ from program project grants in that they are usually developed in response to an announcement of the programmatic needs of an Institute or Division and subsequently receive continuous attention from its staff. Centers may also serve as regional or national resources for special research purposes. |
Core--Neuropathology and Genetics @ University of Pittsburgh At Pittsburgh
The Neuropathology (NP) Core provides complete brain banking and neuropathology diagnostic services for the Pittsburgh ADRC with the goal of providing well-characterized tissues for research studies. Brain autopsies are performed on a 24-hour basis and the average post-mortem time over the past four years is approximately 6 hours. Over 150 frozen samples and CSF are banked. The brain is then fixed in 10% buffered formalin and blocks taken from 20 areas for microscopic evaluation. Stains used for evaluation include H&E, Congo Red, immunocytochemical (beta-A4 amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein, and ubiquitin) and silver stains (Bielschowsky). Evaluation is performed using NIA-RI guidelines. Lewy Body pathology is assessed per the DLB consensus criteria of McKeith et al. Tissues and data are made available to investigators only after approval by the ADRC Executive Committee. During the last 5 years (1999-2003), the NP Core has evaluated a total of 323 cases. 121 of these were part of the ADRC cohort (90.1% of these were banked). 186 cases were associated with the ADRC, the ALS bank or were medical autopsies. Ten HIV and 6 CJD cases were also evaluated. Control brains are banked and characterized by identical protocols. The NP Core provides regular updates to the NACC MDS. The Core is also an active participant in local, national and international conferences. The core maintains a reference laboratory (including a Ar/Kr laser confocal microscope) for development of quantitative analyses. The Genetics Core has been combined with the Neuropathology Core. The Genetics Core maintains a repository of DNA and genotypes on all participants of the University of Pittsburgh ADRC. The aims of the Genetics Core are: 1) to collect and bank DNA from blood and brain tissues from all participants into the University of Pittsburgh ADRC. 2) to generate genotype data for the APOE polymorphisms in the coding (codons 28, 112, 158) and regulatory (-491 A/T, -427 T/C, -219 G/T, -186 G/T and +113 G/C) regions, and other new genetic risk markers associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease from DNA obtained in Aim 1, and 3) to provide banked DNA and genotype data to the ADRC Data Registry Base and to ADRC affiliated R01 and pilot projects so that the DNA can be used for other genetic markers screening and genotype data can be used to assess the genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Neuropathology and Genetics Core @ University of Pittsburgh At Pittsburgh
The Neuropathology Sub-Core (NP) provides complete brain banking and neuropathology diagnostic services for the Pittsburgh ADRC with the goal of providing well-characterized tissues for research studies. Brain autopsies are performed on a 24 hour basis and the average post-mortem time over the past four years is ~6 hours. Over 150 frozen samples and CSF are banked. The brain is then fixed in 10% buffered formalin and 20 areas are taken for microscopic evaluation. Stains used include H&E, immunocytochemical (beta-A4 amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein, and ubiquitin, TDP-43) and silver stains (Bielschowsky). Evaluation is performed using NIA-RI guidelines. Lewy Body pathology assessed per the DLB consensus criteria of McKeith et. al. Tissues and data are made available to investigators only after approval by the ADRC Executive Committee. During the last 5 years (2004-2008), the NP Sub-Core has evaluated a total of 289 cases: 115 of these were part of the ADRC cohort. Thirty-five of the 289 cases were part of ALS bank, 16 came from the Movement Disorders Clinic and 11 were from the Late Life Mood Disorder Cohort. 14 CJD cases (or "rule out CJD") were also evaluated. 98 other cases were evaluated and included gross-only evaluations for brains that were removed for other ADCs or brain banking groups, medical autopsies for possible controls, and cases associated with the ADRC who were not part of the Cohort. Postmortem times for ADRC cohort cases with frozen material banked remained low at 5.1 hrs average. The NP Sub-Core provides regular updates to the NACC NP Database. The Sub-Core is also an active participant in local, national and international conferences. The Sub-Core maintains a reference laboratory (including a Ar/Kr laser confocal microscope) for development of quantitative analyses. The Genetics Sub-Core maintains a repository of DNA and genotypes on all participants of the Pittsburgh ADRC. The aims of the Genetics Sub-Core are: 1) to collect and bank DNA from blood and brain tissues from all participants in the Pittsburgh ADRC;2), to generate genotype data for the APOE polymorphisms in the coding (codons 28, 112, 158) and regulatory (-491 A/T, -427 T/C, -219 G/T, -186 G/T and +113 G/C) regions, and other new genetic risk markers associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease from DNA obtained in Aim 1;and 3) to provide banked DNA and genotype data to the ADRC Registry Database and to ADRC affiliated R01 grants, pilot projects and NIA repositories so that the DNA can be used for other genetic markers screening and genotype data can be used to assess the genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease.
