The National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) is a collaborative bioinformatics system being created by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and help accelerate scientific discovery. NDAR goals are to:

• Develop standards to promote meta-analysis and cross site research data comparisons. These standards will enable NDAR to provide a common repository for data collection while allowing for individual differences among studies. Learn about NDAR standards being piloted by the NIH Autism Center of Excellence (ACE) grantees.
• Provide researchers access to useful software tools and infrastructure. Learn about the software and research tools available within NDAR. See the schedule to understand the NDAR tools planned and when they will be available in NDAR
• Promote the sharing of research data relevant to ASD. Once research data is available within NDAR, researchers may use the information contained in NDAR to augment their research. Review Accessing NDAR to learn how to access available research data.
