Autism & psychiatric research data
"Federated psychiatric and autism research data, shared under NIH governance."
About the resource
The NIMH Data Archive (NDA) — incorporating what was previously NDAR (autism), NDCT (clinical trials), the Research Domain Criteria Database (RDoCdb) and several others — is the NIH platform for sharing research data on mental-health conditions. Autism remains the largest single domain through NDAR; the platform also hosts data on schizophrenia, suicide research, the ABCD (Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development) study and many smaller cohorts.
Data spans clinical assessments, behavioural measures, neuroimaging, genomics and increasingly digital-health signals. Access is governed by Data Access Committees and the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy.
