Biology Core

在13年，生物核心将与数据收集分项目和传播核心密切合作，以 监测主要研究、生物数据收集和由此产生的标本档案的所有方面。《生物学》 CORE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。核心还将 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， 将标本收集和生物措施提供给传播核心，以便分发给数据用户。 确保使用Add Health的生物数据产生的科学与科学 为了实现我们项目的目标，生物学核心将继续评估研究人员寻求使用 存档的生物标本。审查将提交给项目主任，项目主任与 副主任和生物学核心PIS将决定是否批准和/或建议对 研究人员的要求。 在整个第13年，生物学核心将继续为整合提供科学指导和建议 将生物学范例和数据纳入分项目理论模型和分析计划。科学指导 并将通过生物学核心成员和计划之间的相互合作和协作来提供建议 调查人员。生物学核心还将协助编写研究方法论文， 第四波前测中嵌入的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.
