The Duke Neurogenetics Study was supported by Duke University and NIDA grants R01DA031579 and R01DA033369. The Duke Brain Imaging and Analysis Center's computing cluster, upon which all DNS analyses heavily rely, was supported by the Office of the Director, National Institues of Health under Award Number S10 OD 021480.

Dunedin Study Description, Funding, Acknowledgements, Etc (last updated 10/13/21)
The premise and anlysis plan for all Dunedin projects are pre-registered on https://sites.duke.edu/moffittcaspiprojects/. Analyses reported in manuscripts were checked for reproducibility by an independent data-analyst, who recreated the code by working from the manuscript and applied it to a fresh dataset.
The dataset reported in the current article is not publicly available due to lack of informed consent and ethical approval, but is available on request by qualified scientists. Requests require a concept paper describing the purpose of data access, ethical approval at the applicant's institution, and provision for secure data access. We offer secure access on the Duke University and Otago University campuses. All data analysis scripts and results files are available for review.
Dunedin Longitudinal Study description and attrition analysis
The Dunedin Study was approved by the NZ-HDEC (Health and Disability Ethics Committee). The study protocol was approved by the institutional ethical review boards of the participating universities. Study members gave written informed consent before participating.
The Dunedin Brain Imaging Study is supported by NIA grant R01AG049789 and R01AG032282 and U.K. Medical Research Council grant MR/P005918/1. The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit is supported by the New Zealand Health Research Council and the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Thank you to members of the Advisory Board for the Dunedin Neuroimaging Study.
(The grant and advisory board acknowledgement should be included in all papers using Dunedin brain imaging data).
