This group includes investigators at four institutions working together on the NCI U24 Grant “Advanced Development of TIES”, which is part of the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR).

The TCRN Steering Committee is the main governance unit to support this cross institutional data and tissue sharing network. The Steering Committee will (1) develop policies and processes for the functioning of the network, (2) recruit and select pilot projects, and (3) provide use cases and priorities for the development of the TIES network software. Meetings are held bi-weekly.
