ChemNavigator has extended its agreement with NCI to include the development of a new Semi-Custom Synthesis On-line Request System (SCSORS), funded mostly by NCI with additional financial support from the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC). The new SCSORS project will provide the NIH access to the world''s supply of synthetic chemistry available for drug discovery. Once fully formed, SCSORS will provide a strategy for all NIH scientists to circulate requests for specific chemical samples among thousands, if not tens of thousands, of synthetic chemists at suppliers registered in the system. Sample quantities will range from milligram up to kilogram scale requests. Suppliers will be provided tools that allow them to review these requests and make proposals to NIH scientists for the synthesis of substances. It is expected that using the SCSORS strategy will allow the NIH to acquire chemical samples at less than 10% of the internal cost of synthesis while offering access to world wide chemical expertise and diversity. Once fully implemented, SCSORS will become an archive of commercially accessible custom chemistry products for pharmaceutical research. It is expected that this database of commercially accessible substances will grow to over 250 million substances in the coming two years.

INFOMINE is a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information. It is librarian built. Librarians from the University of California, Wake Forest University, California State University, the University of Detroit - Mercy, and other universities and colleges have contributed to building INFOMINE.INFOMINE is a unique Web resource featuring well organized access to important university level research and educational tools on the Internet. A virtual library, INFOMINE is notable for its collection of annotated and indexed links. Information in INFOMINE is easy to find given the multiplicity of access points provided (ways of finding the information contained). It contains over 100,000 links (26,000 librarian created links and 75,000 plus robot/crawler created links). Substantive databases, electronic journals, guides to the Internet for most disciplines, textbooks and conference proceedings are among the many types of resources included. The life sciences INFOMINE alone, for example, provides interactive access to several hundred databases. Separate virtual collections or INFOMINEs exist in most major areas of university level research and educational interests. Click here to see the Database Content Information. It began in January of 1994 as a project of the Library of the University of California, Riverside. It was one of the first Web resources of any type offered by a Library. It was also one of the first Web-based, academic virtual libraries as well as one of the first to develop a system combining the advantages of the hypertext and multi-media capabilities of the Web with those of the organizational and retrieval functions of a database manager. We now include focused, automatic Internet crawling as well as automatic text extraction and metadata creation functions to assist our experts in content creation and users in searching. Many of INFOMINE''s important features and services, described below, remain unique among Internet resource collections. INFOMINE, as mentioned, provides a great number of access points, BROWSE (What''s New, Title, Table of Contents, Subject -- LCSH, Subject - LCC, Search -- Research Discipline, Key Word, Megatopics - Keyword in context, Title, Author, hyperlinked indexing) and SEARCH (Title, Subject -- LCSH, Key Word, Author, Description, Full-text), and LIMIT search (Resource Type, Resource Origin and Access) modes. Searching in fielded and full-text mode allows the user to quickly find high quality resources on the chosen subject(s). Nested, boolean searching capabilities are featured as is exact searching. Search results come back in the form of dynamically created Web pages. Results within these can be ranked by relevance to the search or alphabetically by title. Displays available include title only, regular display, long display and full display. Many of the displays feature indexing terms that are viewable and in hyperlink form and, when clicked upon, allow further broadening or narrowing of the search as desired. Noteworthy as well is that INFOMINE is augmenting its content with a large, second-tier collection of automatically selected and described resources that should complement its first-tier collection of expert created records and allow the user more detail in searching and a greater number of useful results. Finally, on the Advanced Search page, we have browsing indexes which cover all topics and more. These include: * Subjects -- LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings), Table of Contents (LCSH with titles filing under each heading), LCC (Library of Congress Classifications) and Research Disciplines * Keywords -- MegaTopics (keyphrases drawn from our title, subject, keyword and annotation fields) and standard Keywords * Other Indexes: Authors, Titles, Resource Types and What''s New Among the contributions of INFOMINE is the essential enrichment or value added service, as mentioned, of providing concise descriptive information (e.g., an annotation as well as in-depth indexing terminology including Library of Congress Subject Headings) for each record. This greatly helps users to quickly retrieve a focused results set, examine the relevance of individual records and then choose among them immediately prior to accessing thus saving considerable time. Librarian collection expertise and concerns regarding resource comprehensiveness, quality and general usefulness from an academic perspective guide all INFOMINE resource selection activities. Also a crucial behind-the-scenes contribution from INFOMINE is that we are addressing the challenge of better subject portal scaling (keeping up with the growth of important resources on the Internet) by semi-automating or automating a number of collection building tasks (e.g., identification of significant resources for collecting and developing metadata descriptions of these resources). This will help us save crucial resources and redirect them into creating a better and larger collection. In-depth description and indexing, careful selection, a considerable number of options in browsing/searching, and ample help in usage mean that faculty, students and staff can find important, relevant Internet resources quickly and easily via INFOMINE. Sponsors: INFOMINE is supported by the University of California, Riverside.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. It houses chimpanzees that have been used in biomedical research, but no active, invasive research is conducted on the site. The APF provides for the long-term care and husbandry of chimpanzees that have been used in biomedical research. Charles River Laboratories Inc. operates the facility under contract with the National Institutes of Health. To be used in continuing virological research, the animals must be transferred to active chimpanzee research settings. All chimpanzees at the APF have been exposed to various microorganisms, such as hepatitis C virus and HIV. For this reason, they may be candidates for studies related to these diseases. The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) may remove infected animals from the APF to other accredited chimpanzee facilities for research purposes. Investigators interested in the chimpanzees at the APF should contact Dr. Harold Watson in NCRR''s Division of Comparative Medicine to discuss research requirements.

The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute is a multidisciplinary research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to support and facilitate research and research dissemination in the field of alcohol and drug abuse. Recognizing the need to address the enormous problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse, the University of Washington established the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute in October of 1973 as an interdisciplinary research center in the Warren G. Magnuson Health Sciences Center. From its beginning, the mission of the Institute has been to conduct and support substance abuse research at the University of Washington, and disseminate research findings in substance abuse. The activities of the Institute may be described under three general headings: Intramural research by ADAI Research Scientists supported through federal, state, and other grants and contracts; Stimulation and support of research by ADAI Research Affiliates and faculty in departments throughout the University through a Small Grants Program. Since 1973, ADAI has awarded almost three million dollars to researchers in 40 University departments, for approximately 300 projects. Many of those funded projects led to outside funding for expanded research. Dissemination of research findings through its Library and Information Service, publications and presentations by ADAI scientists, web page, listservs, newsletters, and symposia. The Institute receives financial support from the State of Washington under state Initiative 171, which mandates that a portion of fees collected for state liquor licenses be allocated to the two state research universities for research on alcohol and drug abuse, and dissemination of research information. The University of Washington provides additional funding. Research studies are funded primarily through grants and contracts awarded by federal and state agencies and private foundations. The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute serves as a focal point for alcohol and drug abuse research at the University of Washington and in the region, benefiting the citizens of Washington State by expanding our knowledge and making information available to health and social service professionals and policy makers. The Institute''s multidisciplinary staff of clinical and social psychologists, sociologists, epidemiologists, public health experts, educators, and librarians plays a key role in working to understand and reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drug abuse. Dennis M. Donovan, Ph.D. has been the Director of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute since 1993. Dr. Donovan is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology.
