Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for access to biological samples from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The ABCD Study is a longitudinal study of brain development and child health, collecting data from over 11,000 children across the US. This initiative allows investigators to apply for access to these biological samples.
• The ABCD Study collects data on behavioral assessments, neuroimaging, and biospecimens, including saliva, urine, hair, deciduous teeth, and blood.
• The study aims to maximize the scientific potential of the biospecimens collected and expand the scope of the ABCD's open science model.
• Applicants will be responsible for costs associated with conducting research and sample shipment, and they must submit proof of funding for these costs at the time of application.
• The opportunity is open to various types of organizations, including nonprofits, institutions of higher education, and small businesses.
