Limited Access Datasets from NIMH-Supported Clinical Trials

The data from NIMH-supported clinical trials are an important scientific resource. It is the view of NIMH that their full value can only be realized if they are made available, under appropriate terms and conditions, in a timely manner to the wider scientific community, provided that the confidentiality and privacy of study participants are protected. To this end, limited access datasets from clinical trials supported under NIMH research contracts, grants and cooperative agreements will be made available for distribution.
