Online Repositories, Data Sets, and Resources

APA Links to Data Sets and Repositories
Data sets and data repositories recommended by the American Psychological Association for use in psychological science research.
Neuroscience Information Framework
The Neuroscience Information Framework is a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources: data, materials, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the Internet. An initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, NIF advances neuroscience research by enabling discovery and access to public research data and tools worldwide through an open source, networked environment.

NIH Data Sharing Repositories
A list of NIH-supported data repositories that make data accessible for reuse.
NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research
The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research aims to accelerate transformative discoveries in brain function in health, aging and disease. Blueprint is a collaborative framework that includes the NIH Office of the Director together with NIH Institutes and Centers that support research on the nervous system.
NIH BRAIN Initiative
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative is aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By accelerating the development and application of innovative technologies, researchers will be able to produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space.

Neuroscience Societies

American Academy of Neurology
Founded in 1948, the AAN now represents more than 36,000 members and is dedicated to promoting the highest quality patient-centered care and enhancing member career satisfaction. They also publish Neurology.
American Neurological Association
The American Neurological Association is a professional society of academic neurologists and neuroscientists devoted to advancing the goals of academic neurology; to training and educating neurologists and other physicians in the neurologic sciences; and to expanding both our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and our ability to treat them.
APA Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology
Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology members are devoted to studying the biology of behavior. Their focus is on behavior and its relation to perception, learning, memory, cognition, motivation, and emotion.
Cognitive Neuroscience Society
The Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) is committed to the development of mind and brain research aimed at investigating the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of cognition.They publish the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
International Brain Research Organization
The International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) is the global federation of neuroscience organizations that aims to promote and support neuroscience around the world through training, teaching, collaborative research, advocacy and outreach.
Neuroscience@NIH
The NIH is home to one of the largest neuroscience research centers in the world. Over 150 laboratories, originating from eleven different Institutes, conduct research in the basic, translational, and clinical neurosciences.This website represents an inter-institute effort to convey, on an NIH wide basis, the research being conducted in the neurosciences.
Society for Neuroscience
Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has more than 37,000 members in more than 95 countries. Guided by its mission and its values, the vision of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is to advance breakthrough discoveries in neuroscience and promote innovative translation of scientific advances to improve the health of people everywhere. They publish both JNeurosci and eNeuro.
