Search DIAN Data Resource Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-D1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:Knowledge-enhanced Cognitive System for Alzheimer’s Disease

Date of Request:07/28/2024

Status:pending approval

ID:DIAN-D2423




Aim 1:Construct an AD-KG by utilizing multiple curated resources, literature, and individual data across different domains and studies for AD.




Aim 2:Construct OKG for harmonization, imputation, and knowledge representation of AD-related multi-omics data.




Aim 3:Construct NKG for presentation, imputation, and knowledge representation of neuroimaging data and NOKG for knowledge representation of neuroimaging omics association maps, including, building a functional-facilitated structural connectome (FFSC) atlas, training cognitive systems methods for imputation and synthesis, constructing NKG and NOKG, respectively, to augment and complement AD-KG in 1).




Aim 4Develop an AD-KG-enhanced cognitive system (AD-KG-CS) for clinically transformative research.

Title:Dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease and Dutch-type cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a comparison of fluid biomarkers, imaging, cognitive and neuropsychiatric measures

Date of Request:07/24/2024

Status:approved

ID:DIAN-D2421




Aim 1:To examine the difference between D-CAA and ADAD in CSF and blood biomarkers, including Amyloid beta (Aβ) 40, Aβ42, total tau, p-tau181, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), fibrinogen, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), Neurofilament light chain (NfL), and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein M(GFAP), over time.




Aim 2:To identify changes over time in cognitive domains, such as executive functions and memory, and NPS like depression, anxiety, and apathy in (pre)clinical stages of ADAD and D-CAA




Aim 3:To examine the relationship between fluid and imaging (amyloid PET and MRI) biomarkers in ADAD and D-CAA, and their relationship with cognition and NPS in (pre)symptomatic ADAD and D-CAA.




Aim 4To investigate whether demographic and lifestyle factors (such as age, education, exercise and socioeconomic status) influence on cognitive decline and NPS in (pre)symptomatic ADAD and D-CAA over time and whether these changes affect functioning and caregiver burden.
