Sharing of data generated by this project will be an important part of the proposed activities of this research and will be carried out in several ways. All research resources developed in this project will be made readily available to the scientific community for non-profit research purposes. The main mechanism for the transfer of information will take the form of peer-reviewed publications and presentations/posters at scientific conferences. Information is collected from participants upon enrollment will be generated to a Global Unique Identifier. Annual reports with de-identified information will be presented to National Institute of Mental Health annually and more often upon request. By the completion of the project, all data will be de-identified and relevant documentation to facilitate data sharing will be available.
