An Environment Designed for ADRD Research
Alzheimer’s and related dementias (ADRD) research has been held back by fragmented data access. That’s why the AD Data Initiative coalition created AD Workbench, a free, secure, cloud-based data sharing and analytics environment that serves as the interoperability layer of the AD Data Initiative technical suite.
AD Workbench empowers researchers around the world to share, access, and analyze data across platforms. Easy to use and available at no cost, it provides data hosting, offers collaborative workspaces, and supports federated and distributed data sharing. Through AD Workbench, researchers and institutions can accelerate progress towards new and better treatments and diagnostic tools for ADRD.
AD Workbench Features at-a-Glance
Access 100+ datasets
Browse metadata, search and discover dataset summaries, and request access to datasets from leading institutions and established data repositories across multiple interoperable data platforms.
Combine and analyze data
Use secure private workspaces, tools, in-platform computational models, and applications to combine data across platforms, perform robust data analysis, and generate new insights
Add new datasets
Bring your own multidimensional data to analyze alongside datasets provided through the environment and/or to share with more AD researchers.
Collaborate globally
Seamlessly collaborate with other researchers around world in our secure, cloud-based environment.

Increasing Interoperability via Data Platform Partnerships
To maximize AD Workbench’s utility and impact, we are working closely with data platform partners to ensure interoperability with AD data-sharing platforms around the world, including: Answer ALS, Dementias Platform UK, Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network (GAAIN), Vivli, European Platform for Neurodegenerative Diseases (EPND), Health Data Research UK (HDR UK), and more.
AD Data Initiative Product Suite
The AD Data Initiative product suite consists of data sharing and analytic products along with enabling technical resources to empower researchers around the work to share, access and analyze data across multiple platforms.
The AD Discovery Portal is a user-friendly, publicly accessible dataset catalog designed to enable researchers to explore novel Alzheimer's disease data that are available via AD Workbench – a secure, free, cloud-based data sharing and analytics environment that provides online workspaces for collaborating and conducting analyses. Additional products and resources available to researchers and data contributors include (include links where we have them):
- AD Data Initiative Repository, an NIH-supported domain specific repository
- Federated and Distributed data Sharing Appliance (FDSA)
- Workspaces
- AD Curation Studio
- AD Connect
- NTK App
