NIMH Data Archive

Data Use Certification

Last updated: June 1, 2017

NIMH Data Archive Data Use Certification

Introduction

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Data Archive (NDA) is a collaborative resource that contains human subjects research data.

The NIMH Data Archive Data Use Certification (DUC) is used to request access to shared research data in the NIMH Data Archive. Shared data are available with either an Institutional sponsorship or an Individual sponsorship. All data access requests require acceptance of the Data Use Terms and Conditions contained in this DUC. (See the NIMH Data Archive Recipient Information and Certifications form in this document for available data and associated sponsorship types.)

Institutional sponsorship requires Recipients to be affiliated with an NIH recognized institution (foreign or domestic), based upon registration in the NIH’s eRA Commons system, with an active Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP). The signature of an Authorized Institutional Business Official is also required on this DUC.
Individual sponsorship may be requested by a Recipient without the need for sponsorship by or affiliation with an NIH recognized institution and, therefore, the signature of an Authorized Institutional Business Official or an active institutional FWA is not required.

A Data Access Committee(s) (DAC) will objectively review a data access request sponsored by an Institution. Individual sponsorships do not require DAC review. To submit data to the NIMH Data Archive, the NIMH Data Archive Data Submission Agreement (DSA) must be completed, which is a separate document.

The NIMH Data Archive (NDA)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NIMH have developed a repository to store the collection of data from participants in research studies, regardless of the source of funding. The extensive information collected by these studies, and subsequently stored in the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR), the NIH Pediatric MRI Repository (PedsMRI), the National Database for Clinical Trials Related to Mental Illness (NDCT), the Research Domain Criteria Database (RDoCdb), the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, and the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), provides a rare and valuable scientific resource. The NIH and NIMH seek to encourage the use of these resources to achieve rapid scientific progress. Moreover, NIMH has made data sharing an expectation for all clinical research it funds (see NOT-MH-15-012). In order to take full advantage of such resources and maximize their research value, it is important that data are made broadly available, on appropriate terms and conditions, to the largest possible number of qualified investigators in a timely manner.

Data collected by the Submitters have been stripped of all individual identifiers, but the unique and intrinsically personal nature of genomics data, brain imaging, and other derivative data of which are included in these repositories, combined with the recent increase in the accessibility of conducting genotype and other sequence analyses (in terms of technological capacity and cost), has altered the framework through which “identify-ability” can be defined. To protect and assure the confidentiality and privacy of all participants, the Recipient who is granted access to these data is expected to adhere to the specifications of this DUC. Failure to do so could result in denial of further access to data.

National Database for Autism Research (NDAR)

The National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) is an NIH-funded research data repository that aims to accelerate progress in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research through data sharing, data harmonization, and the reporting of research results. Raw genomics, clinical, imaging, and neurosignal recording data and results are available.

National Database for Clinical Trials Related to Mental Illness (NDCT)

The NIMH has made data sharing an expectation for all future clinical trials funded by the NIMH (see NOT-MH-14-015). Researchers are expected to submit both positive and negative data and results from NIMH-funded clinical trials to the National Database for Clinical Trials Related to Mental Illness (NDCT). NDCT will provide a system to support the submission, sharing and access of relevant data at all levels of biological and behavioral organization and for all data types. At present, data submitted to NDCT will be the result of grants funded through a series of NIMH funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) as well as other privately funded research projects.

Research Domain Criteria Database (RDoCdb)

The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative aligns research in neuroscience and behavioral science to develop a precision-medicine approach for classifying mental illnesses. In contrast to current symptom-based diagnostic systems for mental illnesses, precision medicine integrates many levels of information for each patient to define a precise diagnosis. Data submitted to the RDoC Database (RDoCdb) will include the results of grants funded through a series of NIMH FOAs in support of the RDoC project, as well as relevant data submitted by other interested investigators, regardless of funding source. More information on the RDoC project and related FOAs can be found at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtml. Omics data associated with these studies are found in genomics repositories supported by the National Library of Medicine (dbGaP and SRA).

NIH Pediatric MRI Data Repository (PedsMRI)

The goal of the NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development and the resulting Pediatric MRI Data Repository (PedsMRI) is to generate data that can help foster a better understanding of normal brain maturation as a basis for understanding atypical brain development associated with a variety of developmental, neurological, and neuropsychiatric disorders affecting children and adults.

Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD)

The ABCD Study is a long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States. Multiple NIH Institutes and Centers and additional federal partners are supporting this ambitious project. The ABCD Consortium consists of a Coordinating Center, a Data Analysis and Informatics Center, and 21 research sites across the country where investigators will perform regular, comprehensive biological and behavioral assessments on more than 10,000 children beginning at ages 9 or 10 and continuing throughout adolescence into early adulthood. A more complete description of the study is available at https://ABCDStudy.org.

Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)

The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) is a multi-center, longitudinal, prospective observational study of knee osteoarthritis (OA). The overall aim of the OAI is to develop a public domain research resource to facilitate the scientific evaluation of biomarkers for osteoarthritis as potential surrogate endpoints for disease onset and progression. The OAI will establish and maintain a natural history database for osteoarthritis that will include clinical evaluation data, radiological (x-ray and magnetic resonance) images, and a biospecimen repository from 4796 men and women ages 45-79 enrolled between February 2004 and May 2006. Four 3.0 Tesla MRI scanners, one at each clinical center, are dedicated to imaging the knees of OAI participants annually over four years. The seven-year project will recruit participants who have, and those who are at high risk for developing, symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Access to biospecimens will be by application to the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).

Data Use Terms and Conditions

I request access to shared data from the NIMH Data Archive for the purpose of scientific investigation, scholarship or teaching, or other forms of research and research development as described in the following NIMH Data Archive Data Use Certification (DUC). I, and any Other Recipients listed in this DUC, agree to the following terms:

Research Data Use Statement

Generally, these data will be used by the Recipient in connection with the purpose indicated and described in the Research Data Use Statement on the DUC. Recipients are encouraged to explore shared data in the NIMH Data Archive for a variety of purposes including secondary analysis, hypothesis generation, and replication regardless of whether said exploration leads to analysis in support of a question beyond the scope of the originally identified purpose described in the Research Data Use Statement.

Non-transferability of Agreement

This DUC is not transferable. If a Recipient changes institutions and wishes to retain access to the NIMH Data Archive, a new DUC is required.

Non-Identification of Subjects

Recipients agree that data will not be used to establish the individual identities of any of the study participants from whom data were obtained and/or contact the individual study participant, except as permitted by law (e.g., in connection with a separately negotiated collaboration with the original research team or the enrollment of the consented subject in the Recipient’s study). Recipients agree to notify the NIH at NDAHelp@mail.nih.gov as soon as possible if, upon use of NIMH Data Archive data, identifying information is discovered.

Use of the NIH Global Unique Identifier (GUID)

The Global Unique Identifier (GUID) is a computer-generated alphanumeric code that is unique to each research participant. The GUID allows the NIMH Data Archive to link together all submitted information on a single participant, giving researchers access to information even if the data were collected at different locations or through different studies. If Recipients access data on individuals for whom they, themselves, have previously submitted data to the NIMH Data Archive, Recipients may gain access to more data about an individual participant than they, themselves, collected. Consequently, these research activities may be considered “human subjects research” within the scope of 45 C.F.R. 46. Recipients must comply with the requirements contained in 45 C.F.R. 46, as applicable, which may require Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval of the Research Data Use Statement.

Data Disclaimers

Recipients acknowledge that the NIH does not and cannot warrant the results that may be obtained by using any data or data analysis tools included in the NIMH Data Archive. The NIH disclaims all warranties as to the accuracy of the data in the NIMH Data Archive or the performance or fitness of the data or data analysis tools for any particular purpose.

Data Access for Research

Data and Supporting Documentation in the NIMH Data Archive are eligible for access by qualified researchers, pursuant to the terms set forth in this DUC. Recipients acknowledge that other researchers have access to the data and that downloading and duplication of research is a distinct possibility, thereby decreasing subject data protections. Raw or nearly raw research data files (e.g. fastq, bam, MRI, and EEG recordings) are made available for just in time computation, regardless of where the computational resources may reside. Therefore, data copied shall not be persisted (i.e., stored) beyond the time necessary for computation and shall be expunged once computation has been completed. Recipients are encouraged to utilize the NIMH Data Archive computational capabilities described at https://data-archive.nimh.nih.gov/tools#cloud.

Supporting Documentation

Recipients agree to review the supporting information, materials, and documentation (“Supporting Documentation”) for the data accessed in the NIMH Data Archive to enable efficient use of the submitted data by Recipients unfamiliar with the data or the research project. Examples of supporting documentation include:

Research protocol(s)
Questionnaire(s)
