Applying for Tissue Materials from the CPCTR

Applying for Tissue Microarrays from the Resource

The CPCTR application process for tissue microarray slides is simple and straightforward. The process is outlined below:

  1. You submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the resource. This letter is to tell us about your research plan to help us determine whether array slides are appropriate to answer the question(s) you are posing. Click here for the specific elements you must address in the Letter of Intent for Tissue Microarrays.
  2. The CPCTR Research Evaluation Panel (REP) will review your LOI as rapidly as possible. If they have any questions about your letter, we will contact you directly (via e-mail or telephone) to discuss the concerns.
  3. If approval is recommended by the REP, the LOI will be reviewed by the CPCTR Coordinating Committee for merit and availability of the specific TMA.
  4. You will be informed of the outcome and if approved, when you can expect to receive the slides you requested. No further application will be required.
