BioData Catalyst
NHLBI BioData Catalyst® (BDC) is a cloud-based ecosystem that offers researchers data, analytic tools, applications, and workflows in secure workspaces. It is a community where researchers can find, access, share, store, and analyze heart, lung, blood, and sleep data resources. And it is one of NHLBI’s data repositories, where researchers share scientific data from NHLBI-funded research so they and others can reproduce findings and reuse data to advance science. By increasing access to NHLBI data and innovative analytic capabilities, BDC accelerates reproducible biomedical research to drive scientific advances that can help prevent, diagnose, and treat heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders.

Details on Data Access
Researchers using open-access and/or controlled-access data from BioData Catalyst must have eRA Commons accounts (visit the eRA Commons website for more information). In addition, researchers who wish to use controlled-access datasets must also have approved data access requests (DARs) for each dataset from the NIH Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP).
Sensitive Data
Human Data Accepted
Yes
Level of Deidentification Required
BDC will accept any de-identification methods as long as it’s been documented for others to understand and reuse the data. Documentation of the approach for all 18 De-identifying Elements is required, and BDC will review the submitted datasets for quality control. Please see De-Identification Readme for guidance on what to include in your deidentification documentation. Also, please reference the Instructions for Preparing Clinical Research Study Datasets for Submission to the NHLBI.
