   Proposal Description:
   The National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) was established in 1999 to standardize data and facilitate research use of data across the approximately 32 Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) funded by the National Institute of Aging (NIA). Standardized, longitudinal data collection through the Uniform Data Set (UDS) was implemented in September of 2005. Recently, because of high interest in in vivo neuroimaging and biofluid markers, NACC constructed a method to receive, curate, store and distribute these types of data.
