罕见癌症研究基金会(RCRF),致力于通过战略投资和创新合作进行基础治疗罕见的癌症,和美国文化募捐组织(ATCC),世界上最大的非营利性细胞株库,建立神经内分泌肿瘤细胞株收集目录。肠道良性肿瘤和胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(PNET)需求一种新疗法的研究和发展，即在体内原发性肿瘤中建立新的细胞株。
为了刺激发展新的良性肿瘤和PNET细胞系,该基金会是高兴地宣布第二次开放竞争十个人奖项:开发人员的第一个新的细胞系在每个疾病(肠道良性肿瘤和PNET)将获得100000美元，开发者的第二,第三,第四,第五个新细胞系在每个疾病将会收到50000美元。原文如下：https://www.innocentive.com/ar/challenge/9933756
The lack of well-validated and widely accepted cell lines derived from intestinal carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) is a significant barrier for research and development of new therapies. The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation therefore wishes to launch a second Challenge to stimulate a concerted effort to create a “collection” of well-characterized cell lines that faithfully replicate tumor characteristics and genetics. The Foundation has partnered with the Rare Cancer Research Foundation (RCRF), a foundation dedicated to curing rare cancers through strategic investments and innovative collaborations, and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), the world’s largest non-profit cell line repository, to establish a Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Line collection in their catalog.
This is a Reduction-to-Practice Challenge that requires written documentation, detailed description of each cell line, and sample delivery.

Challenge Overview
This Challenge is intended to encourage innovative approaches to establishing new cell lines from primary tumors that grow slowly in vivo and to publicize new methods as well as availability of the new cell lines for broad, unrestricted use.
To stimulate development of new carcinoid and PNET cell lines, the Foundation is pleased to announce its second open competition for up to ten individual prizes: Developers of the first new cell lines in each disease (intestinal carcinoid and PNET) will receive $100,000 each and developers of the second, third, fourth, and fifth new cell lines in each disease will receive $50,000 each.
