The Data, Imaging and Informatics core tracks the flow of participants, imaging, and biospecimens across the Center. It works with the Clinical and Pathology Core to upload the Uniform Data Set (UDS) to the National Alzheimer Coordinating Center (NACC). It offers research investigators access to large imaging and clinical databases from ADNI, ADRC, Program Project, and other NIH funded research studies. The Data Core provides expert biostatistical consultation and analyses to ADRC and affiliated investigators, including clinical trials, projects, and pilot studies.
