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名孕妇及其伴侣参加;这些受试者及其后代接受了长期随访（对于后代，随访至少到成年）。在妊娠期间采集母体的生物标本。入组时间为1999-2008年;自2002年以来，NIEHS支持从孕妇中收集更多生物样本，旨在测量环境暴露的生物标志物。2002-2007年的供资机制是通过一个私人承包商。自2007年以来，通过目前的合同，NIEHS资助从其余约40，000名参加该队列的妇女中收集更多的标本。此外，我们支持研究的标本库，信息技术和管理，以提高我们基于NIEHS标本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; since 2002 NIEHS has supported the collection of additional biologic specimens from the pregnant women, designed 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.
