Central Project 2 (CP2) will be responsible for the central recruitment and diagnostic assessment as well as biobanking of blood for DNA for all projects according to legal, ethical and data security standards of the Organisation For Economic Co-Operation And Development (OECD) and the Technologie- und Methodenplattform für die vernetzte medizinische Forschung (TMF) e.V. The biomaterial will be available for methylation and genotyping studies. CP2 also includes training and inter-rater reliability assessments of the diagnosticians. A „Recruitment and Assessment Center“ (RAC) will be part of CP2. Psychometric data of all patients will be monitored in a central data bank, providing access for all participating researchers. Biomaterial will be centrally processed, stored and managed in a pseudonomyzed way at the Department of Genetic Epidemiology in Psychiatry (CIMH). In close cooperation with the Department of Biostatistics (CIMH) and the Institute of Medical Biometry and Informatics (Heidelberg), the CP will further provide support in biometric and statistical analyses.
