This portal takes you to the website of Professor Anne Chao of the National Tsing Hua University, China. She studies birds. The portal offers Software, course information, publications and teaching. There are about 458 bird species in Taiwan. We have observed 155 species in our neighboring Ker-Yar estuary. We would estimate the total number of species in this area to be 180 including those unobserved. The more we discover about birds, the more we realize how intimately and closely our lives are entwined with those of birds. When the habitats of birds are destroyed and birds become extinct, we human beings are losing the land....

The project began as a pilot study to identify inherited genetic susceptibility to prostate and breast cancer. CGEMS has developed into a robust research program involving genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for a number of cancers to identify common genetic variants that affect a person''s risk of developing cancer. In collaboration with extramural scientists, NCI''s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) has carried out genome-wide scans for breast, prostate, pancreatic, and lung cancers, while a GWAS of bladder cancer is currently underway. By making the data available to both intramural and extramural research scientists, as well as those in the private sector through rapid posting, NIH can leverage its resources to ensure that the dramatic advances in genomics are incorporated into rigorous population-based studies. Ultimately, findings from these studies may yield new preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions for cancer. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the U.S. National Institues Of Health.

National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) is a nonprofit organization committed to finding a cure for brain tumors. We aggressively drive strategic research, advocate for public policies that meet the critical needs of the brain tumor community, and provide patient information. Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, with offices in San Francisco, California and Wilmington, Delaware, we host activities throughout the United States. Formed in 2008 by the merger of two leading organizations that had served the brain tumor community, the National Brain Tumor Foundation and the Brain Tumor Society, the National Brain Tumor Society is now the largest brain tumor nonprofit organization in the country. Both legacy organizations had been formed in the 1980s by parents and other people who were committed to increasing both research funding and access to resources specific to brain tumors. In 2010, the Kelly Heinz-Grundner Foundation, a Delaware-based organization, joined NBTS as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Founded in 2005, after the death of Kelly Heinz-Grundner to a brain tumor, the group has contributed to NBTS''s efforts to pursue research and public policies that benefit the brain tumor community. NBTS grant programs are effective for academic researchers, inclusive of industry expertise, and promising for the patient community. All funding is open to both the domestic and international research communities. The Innovation Research Grant Program supports catalytic transformative projects that will significantly move the field forward. These may include out-of-the-box projects or research that is critical to move therapies down the pipeline. Research that represents an incremental advance is not considered innovative. NBTS will accept Innovation Letters of Intent throughout the year. Researchers in academic or industry labs and at all stages of their career may be funded through this program.
