CBTN progress is made possible in part through strong partnerships with U.S. federal agencies committed to transforming childhood cancer research. Key partners include:
National Vision, Global Impact
Government
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
A central collaborator advancing open-science initiatives that accelerate pediatric brain tumor research.
Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center
Provides researchers open access to genomic and clinical data to drive discoveries in childhood disease. Kids First DRC houses the CBTN Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas (PBTA) genomic data.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)
With a $50 million award from ARPA-H, CBTN is helping scale a national pediatric data infrastructure to deliver AI-driven research insights into patient care more quickly. By enabling secure, real-time data sharing across member institutions, this partnership supports more timely, informed decisions for children facing brain tumors.
National Cancer Institute’s Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI)
Works with CBTN to expand childhood cancer data access and support large-scale precision medicine research.
NIH Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (CPTAC)
Leverages CBTN as a trusted data site to advance proteogenomic insights into pediatric brain tumors.
These alliances enable the global scientific community to access, analyze, and act on high-quality pediatric brain tumor data, advancing discovery with the speed and scale this challenge demands.
