Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Resource Allocation Review Committee (RARC) Policy and Procedures Statement


(updated July 2007)

The Policy and Procedures of RARC are subject to change as ADNI progresses and further experience is gained.
 
One of the goals of ADNI is the collection of biospecimens, including blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from participants. An accounting of the biospecimens available through ADNI will be maintained on the ADNI website. Several analyses of general interest (homocysteine, species of isoprostanes, tau and Aβ) will be performed by the ADNI Biomarkers Core, with results made available on the ADNI web site as soon as the laboratory analyses are complete.

Interested investigators, whether associated with an ADNI site or not, are encouraged to apply for use of this limited resource.

 
Application Form
Any scientist may apply for biomarker samples collected by ADNI. To fully understand the number of subjects and sample collection, refer to the ADNI Protocol, and Biofluids section of the ADNI procedures manual.

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged also to read the Policies and Procedures for applying for samples (this page).
