The ABCD Coordinating Center (CC) is charged with coordinating the scientific and administrative activities of the ABCD Study. It provides the organizational framework for the management, direction, and overall coordination of the national multi-site consortium. The CC organizes and provides logistical support for the advisory groups, design monitoring groups, and assessment workgroups, as well as for educational, scientific, outreach, and dissemination events. It also works with the Data Analysis and Informatics Center to provide data quality control and monitor progress towards study goals.
