ADNI Data

The ADNI data set is a comprehensive and widely used collection of longitudinal clinical, imaging, genetic, and other biomarker data. It encompasses various data types, including structural, functional, and molecular brain imaging, biofluid biomarkers, cognitive assessments, genetic data, and demographic information.

ADNI participants are assigned to a Schedule of Events (SOE) based on various factors, such as clinical diagnosis (unimpaired, MCI, AD/dementia). During each visit, the SOE dictates what data is collected. This data is made available to approved researchers.

How to Access ADNI Data

Data Sharing & Publication Policy

ADNI Data Use Agreement

ADNI Manuscript Citations

Group Acknowledgements List & Publication Policy

All ADNI data are shared through the LONI Image and Data Archive (IDA), a secure research data repository. Interested scientists may obtain access to ADNI imaging, clinical, genomic, and biomarker data for the purposes of scientific investigation, teaching, or planning clinical research studies. Access is contingent on adherence to the ADNI Data Use Agreement and the publication policies outlined in the documents listed below.

Data from several dementia studies complementary to ADNI are also available through the IDA. The most comprehensive ADNI genomics and related -omics data can be accessed through external databases, such as NIAGADS (NIAGADS | ) and NACC (About NACC data | National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center ), which compile data from various projects and have their own access and approval processes.
