LIFE Study

承包商将为NICHD S流行病学、统计和预防研究部提供化学环境分析服务，以便对在LIFE临床试验期间收集的分析进行生育纵向调查和环境(LIFE)研究。 承包商将为美国疾病控制与预防中心流行病学、统计和预防研究分部S提供储存的生物样本的分析，研究依赖于血液、尿液、脂肪组织、卵泡或精液等未经确认的生物样本中浓度的量化，对男性、女性和儿童的一系列健康影响进行研究。将对各种储存的样本进行分析，以确定持久性和非持久性环境化学物质的单独浓度，包括那些可能扰乱内分泌途径的化合物。

The contractor will provide the chemical environmental assay analysis services for the NICHD¿s Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research for the Longitudinal Investigation of Fertility and the Environment (LIFE) study of the analyses collected during the performance of the LIFE clinical trial. The contractor will provide analyses, of banked biospecimens, for NICHD¿s Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research studies of a spectrum of health effects in men, women and children that rely upon quantification of concentrations in de-identified biologic specimens, such as blood, urine, adipose tissue, follicular or seminal fluids. A variety of banked specimens will be analyzed for individual concentrations of both persistent and non-persistent environmental chemicals including those compounds that may disrupt endocrine pathways
