Democratize the use of large scale molecular and clinical data by building computational infrastructure for sustainable data storage and processing that will be accessible to researchers world-wide. This should include support for web-based tools and interfaces to allow data mining and analyses of summary results.

Summary of Key Accomplishments
The NIA Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS) is a national cloud-based repository that facilitates researchers’ access to genetic/genomic data for the study of late-onset AD. Through NIA’s harmonization funding initiative, NIAGADS data resources will be enriched with harmonized clinical data from participants with available genetic data. The NIA-supported AD Knowledge Portal is a cloud-enabled repository of multi-omic data from human and animal model biosamples enabling research on AD/ADRD aging and exceptional longevity; the Portal is also democratizing the use of large-scale data by providing cloud-based computing space.
