The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $5,110,455 Cooperative Agreement under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to develop the Down Syndrome Biorepository (DS-Biorepository) as part of the NIH INCLUDE project. This 5-year award, effective September 30, 2024, will establish a centralized biorepository to support a wide range of research investigations on Down syndrome, including studies on co-occurring conditions such as heart defects, autism, seizures, autoimmune disorders, and Alzheimer's disease.

The primary objectives are to: 1) serve as the primary biorepository for biospecimens generated from INCLUDE-funded research, 2) coordinate standardized biospecimen collection protocols across research sites, and 3) develop a web-based interface to facilitate public access to the biospecimens and associated data. The University of Colorado-Denver will lead this effort, with the University of California, Irvine as a key sub-awardee responsible for specific project components. This Cooperative Agreement aims to accelerate discoveries that benefit individuals with Down syndrome by creating a high-quality, accessible research resource.
