The National Institute of Mental Health strategic plan for advancing psychiatric neuroscience calls for increased discovery science initiatives in an effort to delineate developmental trajectories for risk and resilience across the lifespan. Such initiatives require large, openly accessible datasets that contain sufficient detail to enable the generation and testing of multiple hypotheses. The NKI Rockland Sample I helped meet this need with 1,500 participants enrolled across 4 contributing NIH studies.  The Rockland Sample II continues this work with a new study design aimed to innovate measurement tools as we continue to generate rich characterization datasets with the help of our Rockland area communities.
