Distribution of biological materials to researchers
Over a recent 4-year-period (01/01/2001–08/16/2005), 270 separate distributions, each representing a separate tissue retrieval and shipment of a set of requested samples, were made. Of these, 174 distributions were to 20 separate Arizona ADCC-affiliated researchers while 95 distributions were to 33 different researchers located outside of the Arizona ADCC. Over this same time period, biological materials supplied by the SHRI Brain Donation Program supported more than 49 grants to 26 researchers and a total of 71 publications. Of the 53 researchers supplied, 50 worked for “not-for-profit” organizations while 3 were from “for-profit” organizations.
