Question Posted 10/30/17:
Dear ADNI,
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to apply for access to the ADNIs MRI data without IRB number.

While I was following the data access application steps, I found that there is an IRB Number field at the third step. Even though it is not marked with an asterisk, I just wanted to get confirm that whether it is possible to receive approval to access ADNI data without filling the IRB Number. My professor and I are designing a new study that aims to develop a deep learning-based Alzheimer's Disease(AD) diagnostic model and would like to use ADNIs MRI data in our study.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Taerim Lee
