Biology Core

在13年，生物学核心将与数据收集子项目和传播核心密切合作， 监测主要研究生物学数据采集和所得标本存档的所有方面。生物学 核心将主要负责监测生物标本和数据的质量和可靠性， 包括人体测量、药物库存数据和化验结果。核心也将 监督生物样本的跟踪、储存和存档系统。 通过审查数据分布和价值范围，生物学核心将在数据方面协助传播核心。 清洁和传播。生物学核心还将提供数据收集协议的文档， 样本收集和生物测量，以分发给数据使用者。 为了确保使用Add Health的生物数据产生的科学与科学一致， 我们的项目的目标，生物学核心将继续评估研究人员寻求使用的建议， 存档的生物标本。审查结果将提交给项目主任，项目主任将与 副主任和生物核心PI，将决定是否批准和/或建议改变 研究员的要求。 在整个13年级，生物学核心将继续为整合提供科学指导和建议 将生物范例和数据转化为子项目理论模型和分析计划。科学指引 和建议将通过生物学核心成员和计划之间的相互工作和合作来实现 Investigators.生物学核心还将协助编写研究方法论文， 第四波预测试中皮质醇和激励实验的结果。

In Year 13, the Biology Core will work closely with the Data Collection subproject and Dissemination Core to monitor all aspects of main study biological data collection and the resulting specimen archive. The Biology Core will have primary responsibility for monitoring the quality and reliability of biological specimens and data, including anthropometric measurements, medication inventory data, and assay results. The Core will also oversee systems for the tracking, storage and archiving of biological samples. By reviewing data distributions and value ranges, the Biology Core will assist the Dissemination Core in data cleaning and dissemination. The Biology Core will also provide documentation of data collection protocols, specimen collection and biological measures to the Dissemination Core for distribution to data users. To ensure that the science produced with the biological data from Add Health is consistent with the scientific goals of our project, the Biology Core will continue to evaluate proposals by researchers seeking to use archived biological specimens. Reviews will be submitted to the Project Director, who, in collaboration with the Deputy Director and Biology Core Pis, will decide whether to grant and/or recommend changes in the researcher's request. Throughout Year 13, the Biology core will continue to provide scientific guidance and advice for the integration of biological paradigms and data into subproject theoretical models and analysis plans. Scientific guidance and advice will occur through mutual work and collaboration among Biology Core members and Program Investigators. The Biology Core will also assist in the preparation of research methods papers based on the results of the cortisol and incentive experiments embedded in the Wave IV pretest.
