N1 - Funding Information:
The Wisconsin Twin Panel (WTP) is a statewide, birth register-based twin sample used for a set of related studies. The WTP is located in the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The WTP is one of many research studies contained within the Waisman Center’s Social and Affective Processes Unit. Aspects of the research are conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of Psychology. Funding for the project is currently provided by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Wallace Foundation, and, indirectly by Waisman Center core services supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Funding Information:
This work was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (R01-MH59785, R01-MH069793, and R37-MH50560), the Wisconsin Center for Affective Science (P50-MH069315), the Wallace Foundation, and the National Alliance for Autism Research. Infrastructure support was provided by the Waisman Center via a core grant from NICHD (P30-HD03352). Overlapping aspects of this project are also described in Goldsmith et al. (in press), to be published in a future special issue of Twin Research and Human Genetics on longitudinal twin projects.

N2 - The Wisconsin Twin Panel is based on the population of all twins born in the state of Wisconsin, United States. Our research focus is the etiology and developmental course of early emotions, temperament, childhood anxiety and impulsivity, the autism spectrum, auditory and tactile sensory sensitivity, and related psychobiological and behavioral phenotypes. We employ a range of research methods including structured interviews with caregivers, observer ratings, child self-report, home-based behavioral batteries, biological measures of basal and reactive cortisol, palm prints, birth records, genotyping, cognitive testing, and questionnaires. Reported results highlight the utility of employing multiple modes of assessment when studying child development and psychopathology.
