The Fernald Community Cohort (FCC) consists of the 9782 persons who participated in the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program (FMMP) from 1990-2008. The FMMP was an 18-year medical surveillance program for community residents living near the former US Department of Energy uranium processing site at Fernald (near Cincinnati), Ohio. Although eligibility for the FMMP was based on living within 5 miles of the plant, much of the cohort never received radiation exposure beyond the background exposure received by the general population. At the end of the examination program, the study was renamed the Fernald Community Cohort (FCC). This cohort embraces the complexity of discovery in environmental health. Multiple components of the exposure are captured through the questionnaire data and exposure pathway modeling. The large collection of blood and urine biospecimens obtained throughout the 18-year period can be used to measure exposure, early biologic effects and disease biomarkers, and the periodic comprehensive medical examinations accurately assigned phenotype. This cohort can be used to study a wide range of exposures and their health outcomes. The FCC has an established procedure for providing access to data and biospecimens, which have been shared widely and have been used in 80 research studies, resulting in 35 manuscripts published in peer-review journals. In this revised application, we incorporate biomedical informatics expertise to convert to codes standard ontologies, create new portals to FCC metadata, and deposit our meta data into the NIH and other repositories. Our Biomedical Informatics team will develop a new online portal for investigators to explore the FCC individual and meta data (FCCPortal), which will also increase our efficiency in managing resource sharing. We propose to: Aim 1: Maintain the cohort while increasing the value to the scientific community, by updating health status information, enrolling 800 “next generation” of cohort members and collecting their data and biospecimens, maintain our biorepository with periodic quality assurance assessments, and increase communication cohort members and with community physicians regarding our research activities and findings. Aim 2: Enrich the cohort through obtaining new health outcome and exposure data, converting our codes for medical terms, diagnoses, and medications to standard ontologies, developing new biomedical informatics tools and by exploring the feasibility of using banked samples in new technologies(ccfDNA for DNA methylation biosmarkers; exosomal miRNA for expression molecular markers). After 25 years of follow-up, the FCC is a primed research resource. Resources are well documented, including a website with detailed information, searchable data dictionary, and extensive biospecimen inventory database. With funding from NIEHS, we will be able to both maintain this valuable resource and increase its value of the cohort for investigating generational effects of exposures, and serve additional research projects.

费尔纳德社区队列（FCC）由参加费纳德医疗的9782人组成 监视计划（FMMP）1990- 2008年。 FMMP是一项为期18年的医疗监视计划 居住在美国能源部前铀加工现场附近的社区居民（附近） 尽管FMMP的资格是基于植物5英里以内的生活 队列从未收到超出普通人群接收的背景暴露的辐射暴露。 在考试计划结束时，该研究更名为Fernald社区队列（FCC）。这 队列包含环境健康中发现的复杂性。暴露的多个组成部分是 通过问卷数据和曝光途径建模捕获。大量的血液和 在整个18年期间获得的尿液生物测量可用于测量暴露，早期生物学 效果和疾病生物标志物以及准确分配的定期全面医学检查 表型。该队列可用于研究广泛的暴露及其健康结果。 FCC 有一个既定的程序来提供对数据和生物测量的访问，这些程序已被广泛共享 并已在80项研究中使用，导致在同行评审期刊上发表了35份手稿。 在此修订的应用程序中，我们纳入了生物医学信息专业知识，以转换为代码标准 本体论，为FCC元数据创建新门户，并将我们的元数据存入NIH和其他 存储库。我们的生物医学信息学团队将开发一个新的在线门户，供研究人员探索 FCC个人和元数据（FCCPORTAL），这也将提高我们管理资源的效率 分享。我们建议： 目标1：通过更新健康状况，在增加对科学界的价值的同时保持队列 信息，注册800名“下一代”队列成员并收集其数据和生物测量， 通过定期质量保证评估维护我们的生物座席，并增加沟通队列 成员以及社区医生关于我们的研究活动和发现。 目标2：通过获得新的健康结果和暴露数据来丰富队列，将我们的代码转换为 标准本体论的医学术语，诊断和药物，开发新的生物医学信息。 通过探索在新技术中使用库样品的可行性（DNA的CCFDNA 甲基化生物标记；外泌体miRNA用于表达分子标记）。 经过25年的随访，FCC是主要的研究资源。资源有充分的记录， 包括一个带有详细信息，可搜索数据字典和大量生物测量清单的网站 数据库。借助Niehs的资金，我们将能够维护这一宝贵资源并增加其 队列的价值用于调查暴露的世代影响，并为其他研究项目提供服务。
