## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY 
The overall objectives of the Emory ACE Assessment Core (AC) are to provide Projects I, II, III & IV with the 
following: I a: Recruitment: to ensure that a sufficient number of subjects are recruited for P-I – P-IV in an 
efficient and ethical manner, with efforts to reduce attrition and maximize follow-through, making full use of the 
vast clinical resources available through MAC, CHOA, and our numerous community relationships, specifically 
with primary pediatric and OB/GYN practices (see LOSs #1-3 and R&E S.7.2.1, S.8.7, S.9.4.2); I b: Clinical 
Characterization: to provide P-I – P-IV with a well centralized, supported, and coordinated assessment protocol 
to ensure the accurate collection and management of diagnostic, assessment, and genetic data from birth 
through age 30 months at the following time points: 6, 12, 16, 21, and 30 months; I c: Clinical Care: to provide 
optimal clinical care to the 250 infants and their families, including supports associated with children’s risk and/or 
developmental status throughout their longitudinal participation; I d: Training & Reliability: to ensure 
achievement of high-level procedural and numerical reliability among the CAC clinicians, maintenance of 
achieved reliability, and correction of drift among staff; and I e: Quality Control: to ensure investigator 
satisfaction and quality control of procedures by implementing continuous and efficient communication between 
investigators and the CAC, data and regulatory audits, and adherence to Scientific Rigor & Reproducibility in 
every aspect of data collection, safeguarding independence between risk-treatment-outcome status, and 
between clinical/experimental procedures.
