The Gray Foundation Data Coordinating Center (GF-DCC) provide these documents to help researchers interact with the portal, data, metadata, and other resources.
Mission
The Gray Foundation (opens in a new tab), founded by Jon and Mindy Gray in 2014, is focused on accelerating cancer research to study BRCA-associated precancer and early cancerous lesions in order to develop new prevention, early detection, and interception approaches. Proposals are solicited annually to fund BRCA-gene related research. Awardees of the Gray Foundation are encouraged to collaborate together.
The BRCA Atlas
The BRCA Atlas is a product of the Gray Foundation mission.
In BRCA-associated cancer, no one team can provide the entirety of the big picture. Thus, each team is a discovery team that:
- Explores a thematic region of BRCA-associated cancer, reporting back an elucidation of the landscape as a collection of new findings and datasets.
- May initially focus on a data type/research question in which they specialize, but should eventually share data and work together without boundaries to create more collaborative projects.
Data Coordinating Center
Sage Bionetworks serves as the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for the Gray Foundation consortium.
