Data Use Certification for the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC), (NIDA)

This document reflects a revision to a package (0925-0780) which was originally submitted for approval in September 2023. These Data Use Certification (DUC) Agreements outline the terms of use for requesting access to data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM (ABCD) Study and the Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study, collectively known as the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC). Data from both studies will be maintained at an outside entity contracted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This submission is seeking approval for collecting limited information from researchers who wish to access these data for further research studies. While the data are intended to be leveraged by other researchers, it is essential that the integrity of the data is maintained by requiring that researchers and their institutions sign the DUC agreements. Since the time of the original package submission, we have simplified the process by including only the data use and progress report statements in the package for review, rather than the full data use certification forms, as the respondent burden is limited to completing the statements.

The latest form for Data Use Certification for the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC), (NIDA) expires 2028-07-31 and can be found here.
