NIMH is interested in compiling and curating an integrated database that includes study- and subject-level data from studies of cognitive remediation in schizophrenia (regardless of funding source). The Database of Cognitive Training and Remediation Studies (DCTRS) would provide a repository for investigators who want to share their data. The integrated database would allow NIMH staff and approved investigators to test novel hypotheses about patient characteristics and treatment features that are associated with optimal treatment outcomes using existing rather than investing in new data collection efforts
