NORWAY MOTHER AND CHILD COHORT STUDY: CONTINUED SPECIMEN

挪威母婴队列研究(MOBA)是一个正在进行的项目，有108,000名孕妇和她们的伴侣参加；这些受试者和她们的子女被跟踪调查一段时间(对于子女，随访至少要到成年)。这些母亲的生物标本是在怀孕期间收集的。招生时间为1999-2008年。从2002年到2008年，NIEHS支持从孕妇身上收集更多的生物标本，以便能够测量环境暴露的生物标记物。2002-2007年的筹资机制是通过一家私人承包商提供的。自2007年以来，通过目前的合同，NIEHS资助了从队列中登记的其余约40,000名妇女中收集“额外的”标本。此外，我们支持这项研究的标本储存库、信息技术和管理，以增强我们基于对NIEHS标本的分析进行研究的能力。

The Norway Mother & Child Cohort Study (MoBa) is an ongoing project in which 108,000 pregnant women and their partners are enrolled; these subjects and their offspring are followed through time (for the offspring, follow-up is at least to adulthood). Biologic specimens from the mothers were collected during pregnancy. Enrollment was in 1999-2008. From 2002-2008, NIEHS supported the collection of additional biologic specimens from the pregnant women, to allow measurement of biomarkers of environmental exposures. The funding mechanism in 2002-2007 was through a private contractor. Since 2007, via the current contract, NIEHS, funded the collection of “additional” specimens from the remaining ~ 40,000 women enrolled in the cohort. In addition, we support the study’s specimen repository, information technology, and administration, to enhance our ability to conduct studies based on analysis of the “NIEHS” specimens.
