Do you have bladder, kidney, prostate, or another genitourinary cancer diagnosis? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study collecting specimens (e.g., blood, urine, saliva, tissue) during your already scheduled appointments. Collecting these specimens may help researchers develop new ways to detect cancer earlier or to more effectively treat cancer.

This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients (age 2 and above) undergoing IBD therapy designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. In addition to the study database, a biospecimen repository will also be included so that translational studies of viral resistance, genomics, and biomarkers of response may be performed. Also, the right to collect retrospective data on these IBD patients will be reserved.

This project is about the role of science and data in ocean management. The Big Data revolution is increasing knowledge about oceans and human impacts on them. This knowledge both fuels and is fueled by interest in development and conservation opportunities in oceans. Ocean data science initiatives (ODSIs) use new data and technologies to support work by government and non-government organizations to extend, reform and create new policies for ocean management. This project examines the role of ODSIs in improved ocean management, at global and regional scales, focusing on two key questions: 1) What kinds of new policies are possible based on knowledge generated by ODSIs? 3) How can ODSIs inform policies for ocean management in ways that that support environmental sustainability and human well-being? The project brings together an interdisciplinary team of human geographers, marine ecologists, geospatial data scientists and information scientists to conduct the research. It also engages
