Central Brain Tumor Registry Of The United States

Central Brain Tumor Registry Of The United States (CBTRUS) is a non-profit organization that serves as the nation's largest centralized brain tumor clinical registry. Registered with the federal government since October 2003, CBTRUS primarily provides data collection, analysis, and reporting services related to malignant and non-malignant brain tumors. The organization has been awarded both federal contracts and grants, demonstrating its expertise in brain tumor research and its ability to support various government health agencies. CBTRUS offers specialized laboratory testing services and professional services to federal entities, leveraging its unique position as a comprehensive brain tumor registry to advance research and monitoring efforts in the field of neuro-oncology.

Recent federal contract awards to CBTRUS showcase its involvement in critical brain tumor research initiatives. The organization has received multiple awards from the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These contracts involve laboratory testing services, professional services, and comprehensive data collection and analysis of brain and central nervous system tumors. Notable awards include a $240,000 contract from the CDC for a four-year study on malignant and non-malignant brain tumors, and several smaller contracts from the NCI for lab testing services ranging from $14,000 to $25,000. The work is typically performed at CBTRUS's locations in Hinsdale, Illinois, and Chamblee, Georgia. These contracts are generally awarded without set-aside designations, reflecting CBTRUS's unique capabilities in the field. The organization's consistent engagement with federal health agencies underscores its important role in supporting government efforts to monitor brain tumor trends and advance research in this critical area of public health.
