The NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function will provide investigators with a brief, yet comprehensive measurement tool for assessment of cognitive function, emotional health, sensory and motor function. It will provide an innovative approach to measurement that will be responsive to the needs of researchers in a variety of settings, with a particular emphasis on measuring outcomes in clinical trials and functional status in large cohort studies, e.g. epidemiological studies and longitudinal studies.
