The Subject Recruitment & Data Acquisition Core will recruit all subjects and acquire all data for the program project. To do so, Core C will provide: (1) subject recruiter and subject tester training, certification and quality control; (2) instrumentation assembly across the projects into one standardized testing battery; (3) subject recruitment for all individuals to be ascertained by Core B; (4) all stages of data collection for all subjects in procedural compliance with the standardized testing battery (including quality assurance procedures), from and including informed consents, data collection, debriefings, compensation, through mortality surveillance; (5) venipunctures and transfer of blood specimens to Core D (for processing and analysis); (6) videographic recordings of session conducted with centenarians and their caregivers, supplemented by still photographs/slides; and (7) longitudinal follow-up of and data collection from all centenarian subjects who by virtue of their enrollment in Project 2 have agreed to donate brain tissue after their deaths. Data will be collected from 242 centenarians, 80 80-year-old controls, and 400 control subjects who are 20-59 years.
