Chinese Color Nest Project (CCNP)

CCNP takes its pilot stage (2013 – 2022) of the first ten-year. It aims at establishing protocols on the Chinese normative brain development trajectories across the human lifespan. It implements a structured multi-cohort longitudinal design (or accelerated longitudinal design), which is particularly viable for lifespan trajectory studies, and optimal for recoverable missing data. The CCNP pilot comprises three connected components: developing CCNP (devCCNP, baseline age = 6-18 years, 12 age cohorts, 3 waves, interval = 15 months), maturing CCNP (matCCNP, baseline age = 18-60 years, 14 age cohorts, 3 waves, interval = 39 months) and ageing CCNP (ageCCNP, baseline age = 60-84 years, 12 age cohorts, 3 waves, interval = 27 months). The developmental component of CCNP (devCCNP, 2013-2022), also known as "Growing Up in China", a ten-year's pilot stage of CCNP, has established follow-up cohorts in Chongqing (,CKG, Southwest China) and Beijing (PEK, Northeast China). It is an ongoing project focused on longitudinal developmental research as creating and sharing a large-scale multimodal dataset for typically developing Chinese children and adolescents (ages 6.0-17.9 at enrollment) carried out in both school- and community-based samples. The devCCNP houses longitudinal data about demographics, biophysical measures, psychological and behavioral assessments, cognitive phenotyping, ocular-tracking, as well as multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain's resting and naturalistic viewing function, diffusion structure and morphometry. With the collection of longitudinal structured images and psychobehavioral samples from school-age children and adolescents in multiple cohorts, devCCNP has constructed a full school-age brain template and its growth curve reference for Han Chinese which demonstrated the difference in brain development between Chinese and American school-aged children.To access the data, investigators must complete the application file Data Use Agreement on CCNP (DUA-CCNP) at http://deepneuro.bnu.edu.cn/?p=163 and have it reviewed and approved by the Chinese Color Nest Consortium (CCNC). All terms specified by the DUA-CCNP must be complied with. Meanwhile, the baseline CKG Sample on brain imaging are available to researchers via the International Data-sharing Neuroimaging Initiative (INDI) through the Consortium for Reliability and Reproducibility (CoRR). More information about CCNP can be found at: http://deepneuro.bnu.edu.cn/?p=163 or https://github.com/zuoxinian/CCNP. Requests for further information and collaboration are encouraged and considered by the CCNC, and please read the Data Use Agreement and contact us via [e-mail]. The CCNP data will be fully available to the research community when acquisition is completed for the pilot CCNP. At this stage, the CCNP data are only available to researchers and collaborators of CCNC.
