NeuroBioBank Data Repository

Being a central hub for numerous world-class biospecimen collections, we believe that sharing data with qualified investigators would promote robust and reproducible research, encourage a wide spectrum of collaboration, and expedite the progress of future research avenues.

The NeuroBioBank Data Repository, within the NIMH Data Archive (NDA), houses genome wide array genotypes and whole genome short-read sequencing datasets obtained from specimens in the NeuroBioBank inventory. This data repository will also serve to house additional data that may be generated by investigators using specimens obtained via the NeuroBioBank.

Please visit our Data Repository to learn more about our whole genome collection (#3917). To access, search, and analyze the dataset, apply here. A translation table is available in the Supporting Documentation section of the collection to allow matching with primary NeuroBioBank subject IDs.

NeuroBioBank Data Sharing

Researchers conducting studies using NeuroBioBank specimens are encouraged to share their data following the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) guidelines of NIH Data Management and Sharing policy. Genomic and/or transcriptomic data generated from NeuroBioBank specimens are welcome to be submitted to the NDA.

Please contact neurobiobank@mail.nih.gov for inquiries and instructions regarding data submission to NDA and obtaining NDA Global Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) for NeuroBioBank subject IDs.
