NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC) Biospecimen Access (X01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is the largest longitudinal study of brain development and child health collecting data from more than 11,000 children across the U.S. beginning when they are 9-10 years old and continuing for a decade. In addition to behavioral assessments, youth undergo neuroimaging and provide biospecimens, including saliva for hormone analysis, urine and hair for substance use and exposure, deciduous teeth for environmental exposure, and blood for genetic analysis and metabolic and hematologic assays. This initiative allows investigators to apply for access to biological samples from the ABCD Study. More information about the ABCD Study may be found on the ABCD Study website (www.abcdstudy.org).
