EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Arizona Biomedical Research Centre's (ABRC) mission is "accelerating biomedical research, education, and innovation to benefit Arizonans." In FY 2018, the four core programs (Arizona Public Cord Blood Program, Research Grants, Arizona Biospecimen Locator, and Research Education) celebrated many achievements in working towards the mission of the ABRC. Community support is integral to the ABRC core programs' successes. Together, we've achieved many program milestones. None of these achievements would be possible without the unwavering support of our valued community partners, agency leadership, the Governor's office, and legislators.
