The Z project will ensure main service functions implied in this proposal. The project will take care of administrative issues e.g. overall including financial administration of funds, coordination of work groups and allocation of resources, flow and time lines. It will ensure consistent sampling and recruitment of subjects, patients and controls, avoiding systematic selection. It will provide a comprehensive, standardized and as far as possible coherent/identical clinical, diagnostic and phenotypic assessment of constructs and domains across all work packages, including overall quality assurance and the establishment of an electronic data base throughout the project. Finally, the Z-project will advise and coordinate statistical analyses and modeling of data across centers in preparation for integrated analyses (latent constructs) beyond the single project tasks and coordination/ integration of the specific work packages amongst each other. The single projects are interrelated and critically dependent on each other. Thus, coordination and integration tasks of the Z-project are continuous tasks throughout the project. This project will help to conduct integrative analyses across groups of projects to answer the main research questions of this proposal.
