NIMH Data Archive
The National Institute of Mental Health Data Archive (NDA) makes available human subjects data collected from hundreds of research projects across many scientific domains. The NDA provides infrastructure for sharing research data, tools, methods, and analyses enabling collaborative science and discovery. De-identified human subjects data, harmonized to a common standard, are available to qualified researchers. Summary data is available to all.
The primary point of entry to the NDA is currently through the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) website, which serves the autism research community. All NDA repositories can be accessed through this website for data contribution and querying with other scientific communities, allowing for aggregation and secondary analysis of data.
