Description
The National Database for Clinical Trials Related to Mental Illness (NDCT) is an informatics platform for sharing de-identified human subject research data from NIMH-funded clinical trials. It contains data across biological and behavioral levels, including molecular, genetic, neural tissue, behavioral, social, and environmental interactions. The platform supports multiple data types such as text, numeric, image, and time series.
Use Cases
Analyze behavioral and social interaction data from clinical trials to identify environmental risk factors for mental illness.
Integrate molecular, genetic, and neural tissue data to study multi-level biological correlates of treatment outcomes.
Process and analyze shared image and time series data types to develop novel biomarkers for mental health conditions.
Utilize common data definitions and standards to enable federated analysis across multiple NIMH-funded trial datasets.
Strengths
Data spans all levels of biological and behavioral organization, from molecules to social interactions.
Platform supports sharing of multiple data types including text, numeric, image, and time series.
Built on the established National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) informatics platform.
Data is sourced from clinical trials funded by the authoritative National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Limitations
Specific dataset size, row count, column count, and file formats are not provided in the input.
Data access and use are likely governed by specific license terms and privacy restrictions for human subject data.
The platform's focus on NIMH-funded trials may introduce a geographic or funding source bias.
Provenance
Source
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grantees conducting clinical trials.
Collection Method
Data is shared by researchers via an extensible informatics platform built on NDAR, using common data definitions and standards.
Freshness
Platform metadata was last updated in July 2025.
Geography
Primarily United States, as it aggregates data from NIMH-funded trials.
License is specified as 'other-license-specified'; users must review specific terms governing data sharing and use of de-identified human subject data. Data access may require compliance with institutional and ethical review protocols.
