Data Sharing
The HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study Data Release 1.0 will be available January 2025. Annual data releases for the HBCD Study cohort will contain data from the current enrolled sample and cumulative visits up to the time just before each data release. For more information about the visit timeline and assessment domains, please visit the For Scientists page and the Study Protocols page.
Data Releases
Coming January 2025! We are excited to announce the launch of the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC) Data Sharing Platform. This new data ecosystem will host and facilitate access to data from both the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM (ABCD) Study and the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study.
The NBDC platform will offer a range of functionalities:
- Scalable Data Integration: Seamlessly manage large volumes of data, including neuroimaging and genomics data
- Customized Query Tools: Easily navigate data dictionaries to find the variables you need for your research goals
- Streamlined Data Use Certification (DUC) Workflows: Choose individual or investigator-led group DUC. Visit the NBDC platform to learn more. Researchers with an active DUC from the NIMH Data Archive will need to obtain a new DUC
- Responsible Use Training: Complete training on responsible and ethical data and biospecimen use prior to data access approval
ABCD data users: The ABCD 6.0 data release includes cumulative data from baseline through the six-year follow-up visit, with data from about 75% of participants at that timepoint. ABCD data from prior data releases will be transferred from the NIMH Data Archive to the NBDC platform.
HBCD data users: The inaugural HBCD data release includes data from over 1100 pregnant participants during the prenatal period. For over half of these participants, follow-up data from their babies are also included.
For detailed information about the NBDC studies, please visit the ABCD study® wiki at wiki.abcdstudy.org or revisit this page for regular HBCD data release updates.
