ADNI Biospecimens Initial Request Statement

ADNI Biospecimens Initial Request Statement

Parties interested in ADNI biospecimens must submit an Initial Request Statement to adnirarc@adni4.org. This initial request statement format is specific to biofluids and brain tissues. However, separate request statements must be submitted for Biofluids and Brain Tissue. If interested in both Biofluids and Brain Tissue, please submit two separate requests, one for each. See separate format for genetics samples.

Please include the following:

Subject line format:
“Initial Request Statement for ADNI [Biofluids or Brain Tissue]: - [Investigator name] – [Study topic/name]”
• Abstract (up to one page) including:
• One sentence description of the desired study
• One sentence explanation of the importance
• Description of biospecimens and subjects requested
• 1-2 references

Approved requestors will be invited to submit an ADNI Biospecimens Full Application. Brain tissue samples from brain areas that are relatively small and/or commonly requested (e.g., hippocampus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) are limited and require a strong justification for why those areas are requested.
