Data Front Door
The NACC Data Front Door (DFD) empowers researchers to rapidly search, visualize, and access ADRC participant data across modalities and repositories to access the pace of discovery in AD/ADRD.
The DFD offers streamlined access to a growing volume and variety of standardized and harmonized multimodal data from over 54,000 participants. Key components of the DFD include our streamlined Quick Access File Data Request System (powered by REDCap), real-time dashboards, secure LINKAGE enclave, and our new multimodal query tool (MQT). The DFD is enabling researchers to ask and answer new questions and to tackle the most pressing challenges in the field, including through AI-driven discovery.
Learn more about the data modalities available via the DFD:
Quick Access File Data Request System (QAF-DRS)
Rapid access to NACC’s high-quality data. It takes just 15 minutes to sign a DUA and submit a request through our electronic system. Approved researchers will receive all data within 48 hours (not including weekends and holidays).
Real-time dashboards
Dynamic insights into data availability. The SCAN Public Dashboard provides researchers with up-to-date information on the volume of standardized MRI/PET data (SCAN-compliant) and analysis results that are available from across the ADRC Program.
LINKAGE Enclave
Approved researchers at pilot project partner sites can now access and perform analysis on integrated UDS, real-world data (EHR and claims), and genetic data (Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), Whole Genome Sequencing (WHS)) within a secure enclave.
Multimodal Query Tool (MQT)
Enables researchers to quickly find and access ADRC participant data aligned with their study needs across NACC and partner repositories.
