Recent advances in data analytics and data sharing also make a study like ABCD only now possible: Decreasing costs of genotyping have made it feasible to perform genetic analyses in large cohorts; technological capacity can now provide temporally dense data on behaviors and their contexts; and access to computational infrastructure and analytics has made it possible to collect and analyze large data sets. Advances in data storage and transfer capacity and informatics are enabling researchers across the country (and world) to share and analyze anonymized data.
