The Department of Defense (DoD) is offering the Gulf War Illness (GWI) Biorepository Resource Network Award (BRNA) to provide crucial infrastructure support. This grant is for establishing a GWI biorepository, structured as a network of institutions. Its core purpose is to collect, process, annotate, store, and distribute high-quality biospecimens and associated data from Veterans of the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War. Crucially, the biorepository will also house existing biological data, such as imaging or -omics data, from prior studies. The development of this comprehensive biorepository network is essential to empower the GWI research community, facilitating studies that directly address the mission of the Gulf War Illness Research Program (GWIRP).

| Description: | The Biorepository Resource Network Award (BRNA) is being offered for the first time in FY17. The FY17 GWIRP BRNA is intended to provide infrastructure support for the development of a GWI biorepository comprised of a network of institutions that will collect, process, annotate, store, and distribute high-quality biospecimens and data from Veterans of the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War. In addition to biospecimens, this biorepository is intended to house biological data from previous studies (e.g., imaging or -omics data without specimens attached). The development of the biorepository resource network will enable the GWI research community to conduct research that will address the mission of the GWIRP. |
