A project that aims to improve access to human health data by developing a common information framework (EMIF-Platform) that allows for efficient re-use of existing health data, opening up new avenues of research for scientists. To ensure immediate applicability, the project includes two specific therapeutic research topics: the onset of Alzheimer's Disease (EMIF-AD) and metabolic complications of obesity (EMIF-Metabolics). The AD Topic aims to discover and validate biomarkers of AD onset in the preclinical and prodromal phase as well as for disease progression and identify high-risk individuals for therapeutic trials for prevention. The Metabolic Topic aims to discover and evaluate biomarkers for the risk of metabolic complications in obesity and to identify high-risk populations for intervention purposes. Collaboration between the 3 topics will ensure the development and delivery of an efficient Information Framework. This initiative has combined several data sets for neuroimaging including ADNI and several others, curating them into transmart.

RA MAP is a public-private collaborative project into early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Our goal is to: identify the key predictors of clinical response and remission in RA patients, and identify those individuals at high risk of developing RA. By understanding the human immune system in RA through the study of biological samples from RA patients we plan to develop an ''immunological toolkit'' measuring the immune status of healthy individuals and patients.

A public-use microdata sample focusing on the older population created from the 1990 census. This sample consists of 3 percent of households with at least one member aged 60 or older. Although, the highest age presented is age 90, this allows analysis of data on the very old for most states with a reasonable degree of reliability. Since data for all members in households containing a person 60 years and over will be on the file, users will be able to analyze patterns such as living arrangements and sources of household income from which older members may benefit. Additionally, users will be able to augment the PUMS-O sample with a PUMS file. The Census Bureau has issued two regular PUMS files for the entire population. One PUMS file will contain 1 percent of all households; the other PUMS file will contain 5 percent of all households. Both files have most sample data items, and differ only in geographical composition. The 1-percent file contains geographic areas that reflect metropolitan vs. non-metropolitan areas. The 5-percent file shows counties or groups of counties as well as large sub-county areas such as places of 100,000 or more. The geography on the 5-percent PUMS file matches that of the PUMS-O file. Since data for different households are present on the two files, users can merge the PUMS-O file with the 5-percent PUMS to construct an 8-percent sample. However, weighted averages must be constructed for any estimates created because each sample yields state-level estimates. Thus, it is possible to analyze substate areas even for the very old. In states where the geographic areas identified on the PUMS-O and the 5-percent PUMS are coterminous with State Planning and Service Areas (used by service providers in relation to the Older Americans Act), the Planning and Service Areas are identified. * Dates of Study: 1990-2000 Links: 1980: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08101 2000: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/04204

Data set of annual questionnaires of a long-term prospective study of 1,337 former Johns Hopkins University medical students to identify precursors of premature cardiovascular disease and hypertension. The purpose of the study has broadened, however, as the cohort has aged. The study has been funded for 15 years. Participants were an average of 22 years of age at entry and have been followed to an average age of 69 years. Data are collected through annual questionnaires, supplemented with phone calls and substudies. Self-reports of diseases and risk factors have been validated. Every year from 1988 to 2003, anywhere from 2 to 6 questionnaires have been administered, in categories such as the following, which repeat periodically: Morbidity, Supplemental Illness, Health Behavior, Family and Career, Retirement, Job Satisfaction, Blood Pressure and Weight, Medications, Work Environment, Social Network, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Health Locus of Control, Preventive Health Services, General Health, Functional Limitations, Memory Functioning, Smoking, Religious Beliefs and Practices, Links with Administrative Data, National Death Index searches for all nonrespondents * Dates of Study: 1946-2003 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: 1,337 (1946)

Data set of raw anatomical and functional MR data from 72 patients with Schizophrenia and 75 healthy controls (ages ranging from 18 to 65 in each group). All subjects were screened and excluded if they had: history of neurological disorder, history of mental retardation, history of severe head trauma with more than 5 minutes loss of consciousness, history of substance abuse or dependence within the last 12 months. Diagnostic information was collected using the Structured Clinical Interview used for DSM Disorders (SCID). A multi-echo MPRAGE (MEMPR) sequence was used with the following parameters: TR/TE/TI = 2530/(1.64, 3.5, 5.36, 7.22, 9.08)/900 ms, flip angle = 7��, FOV = 256x256 mm, Slab thickness = 176 mm, Matrix = 256x256x176, Voxel size =1x1x1 mm, Number of echos = 5, Pixel bandwidth =650 Hz, Total scan time = 6 min. With 5 echoes, the TR, TI and time to encode partitions for the MEMPR are similar to that of a conventional MPRAGE, resulting in similar GM/WM/CSF contrast. Rest data was collected with single-shot full k-space echo-planar imaging (EPI) with ramp sampling correction using the intercomissural line (AC-PC) as a reference (TR: 2 s, TE: 29 ms, matrix size: 64x64, 32 slices, voxel size: 3x3x4 mm3). Slice Acquisition Order: Rest scan - collected in the Axial plane - series ascending - multi slice mode - interleaved MPRAGE - collected in the Sag plane - series interleaved - multi slice mode - single shot The following data are released for every participant: * Resting fMRI * Anatomical MRI * Phenotypic data for every participant including: gender, age, handedness and diagnostic information.
