The report from that meeting can be viewed at http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/assets/wtd003207.pdf. The recommendations of the Fort Lauderdale meeting address the roles and responsibilities of data producers, data users, and funders of ‘community resource projects’, with the aim of establishing and maintaining an appropriate balance between the interests of data users in rapid access to data and the needs of data producers to receive recognition for their work. The Telethon Kids Institute has agreed to follow these data-release principles and as such, these data are being released as a ‘community resource project’ as defined in the report of the Fort Lauderdale meeting. The Telethon Kids Institute, as data producers, reserve the right to publish the initial global analyses of the data. In so doing, it will also ensure that the data generated are fully described. Brain Tumour Research Program (BTRP) intend to publish the results of their analysis of this dataset and do not consider its deposition into public databases to be the equivalent of such publications. BTRP anticipate that the dataset could be useful to other qualified researchers for a variety of purposes. However, some areas of work are subject to a publication moratorium. The publication moratorium covers any publications (including oral communications) that describe the use of the dataset. For research papers, submission for publication should not occur until 6 months after these data were first made available on the relevant hosting database, unless BTRP has provided written consent to earlier submission. In any publications based on these data, please describe how the data can be accessed, including the name of the hosting database (e.g., The European Genome-phenome Archive at the European Bioinformatics Institute) and its accession number (EGAS00001006844), and acknowledge its use in a form agreed by the User Institution with BTRP. Acknowledgement Authors who use data from the Telethon Kids Institute Brain Tumour Research projects must acknowledge the source using the following wording “This study makes use of data generated by the Telethon Kids Institute and we acknowledge the generous donation of tissue samples by patients and their families.” You are also requested to cite the relevant primary publication: In Vivo Loss of Tumorigenicity in a Patient-Derived Orthotopic Xenograft Mouse Model of Ependymoma Jacqueline P Whitehouse, Hilary Hii, Chelsea Mayoh, Marie Wong, Pamela Ajuyah, Paulette Barahona, Louise Cui, Hetal Dholaria, Christine L White, Molly K Buntine, Jacob Byrne, Keteryne Rodrigues Da Silva, Meegan Howlett, Emily Girard, Maria Tsoli, David S Ziegler, Jason M Dyke, Sharon Lee, Paul G Ekert, Mark J Cowley, Nicholas G Gottardo and Raelene Endersby* Original Research, Frontiers in Oncology - Pediatric Oncology Manuscript ID: 1123492 Users should note that the Telethon Kids Institute and/or Individual Investigators bear no responsibility for the further analysis or interpretation of these data, over and above that published by the Institute.
