Investigator Resources

NIA funds the Columbia University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) to conduct research on improving diagnosis and care and to search for effective treatments. Part of this mission is to share resources with other investigators including pathological, clinical, neuroimaging, genetic information, and biospecimens.

Any investigator interested in utilizing such resources must complete this web-based request form:

ADRC Resource Request Form

All investigators must have an active IRB approval for studies involving human tissues. The Resource Committee, whose goal is to aid investigators in accessing and utilizing the resources and in fostering new research, will review the request for completeness and accuracy. All fields of the request must be completed, incomplete request will delay processing.

Acceptance of ADRC data and/or materials obligates the recipient to cite/reference the NIA grants supporting this project. The ADRC is supported by the National Institutes of Health, through Grant Number P30AG066462.

The following citation must be used: "Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number P30AG066462.

Other Resources

In addition to resources available directly from the ADRC database, the ADRC has committed to facilitating access to resources available from three other major Columbia University projects with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease: NIA-LOAD, WHICAP and EFIGA.
