My research data and documentation are currently not in a format that can be released to secondary users. I do not have the resources or time to prepare it for broader distribution.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has routinely sponsored grant mechanisms that can assist grantees in preparing data for sharing. Researchers are also encouraged to submit archiving and data enhancement grants under the parent R03 mechanism NIH Small Research Grant Program (Parent R03). NACDA staff would be happy to discuss ways to apply for this grants in preparation to sharing your data with NACDA.

If you deposit the data directly with NACDA (curated) we will review the data files, metadata, and documentation to ensure it can be made discoverable and meets our standards for sharing. NACDA is built on the infrastructure of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), which disseminates digitally stable data files and searchable codebooks and documentation.
