Select data to drive or supplement your research.
Data Ark: Data Commons
Data Ark: Data Commons consists of seven high-quality data sets. Public (restricted and unrestricted) and Sinai-generated data sets are managed, processed and combined in a way that optimizes the power, pace and relevance of our science.
HADatAc
The Human-Aware Data Acquisition (HADatAc) combines acquisitions of data and metadata to logically connect to data, enabling data identification and optimizing data queries. Data is composed of scientific measurements supporting computational scientific activities.
HHEAR
The Human Health Exposure Analysis Resource (HHEAR) data center is a continuation of the CHEAR Data Center to include health outcomes at all ages. The public data advances our knowledge of the effects of environmental exposures on human health throughout life.
