Knight ADRC Resource Requests

Our Center has supported many investigators at Washington University and at other institutions over the years.  We wish to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question to avoid duplication of effort and potential conflict.  To determine if your topic has already been studied with our resources, please search our database.  If you find that your topic or a related topic has been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about their findings to determine how you might proceed.  You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. T1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process. If an entry has no ID#, then it represents a research idea by an investigator but not fully submitted to the Knight ADRC. If the ID column contains Declared, a submission was made to the Declare Research Intent page and is not a formal request for resources.
