Summary
It is a pivotal time for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) research to harness data sharing and accelerate therapeutic discovery. Data sharing is important to advance research because it supports large data sets that are more representative of the population, increasing the ability to detect generalizable contributors to disease. Sharing data increases efficiency by allowing investigators to build upon each other’s work and prevents redundant data generation. For of these reasons, the National Institutes of Health has committed to promoting data sharing to accelerate research in
