Dear all, We are planning to access the metabolomic data from the AD Knowledge portal. We have followed the stepwise protocol in order to access the metabolomic data. However, in the end, we have to upload IRB approval. Can you help us with any information on IRB? Is there any dedicated application like DUC for IRB, which we can fill and upload during the data access request procedure? Your responses will be very helpful and highly appreciated. Thanking you, Best regards, Sai.

Hello, Thanks for your information. We now can access the metabolomic data we were looking forward to and download the ".csv files". However, I have a few queries! 1: Does the data available in this database (Specifically the metabolomics data from AMP-AD (ROSMAP) and M2ove-AD (ADMC)) published in any other databases like ADNI, etc? This is to avoid any overlapping of the same data from multiple databases. 2: From the .csv files, how can we identify if a sample belongs to Alzheimer's Disease or a Control group? Or do they all belong to Alzheimer's disease patients? Your response will be very helpful. Regards, Dragos.
Perfect! Thanks for the confirmation. We will try again to submit our DUC! I will get back to you in case we face any further issues! Thanks again:)
There are no IRB requirements for access to that data. What is required is the submission of the AD Portal umbrella DUC + a research statement for access to individual level data. See instructions: https://adknowledgeportal.synapse.org/DataAccess/DataUseCertificates
Thank you for your response, At the moment we are looking forward to accessing the metabolomic data from AMP-AD (ROSMAP) and M2ove-AD (ADMC) projects. However, we will be exploring further in order to include more data.
Can you please clarify which metabolomics dataset you are interested in
