The NIMH Data Repository (NDA) is the primary home for psychENCODE data. Legacy data transfer from Synapse to NDA is now complete. A search tool is provided here to help locate data previously hosted on Synapse. Please visit the PsychENCODE landing page on NDA for a list of currently available data, including new data as it is produced by the Consortium.
The table below outlines the PsychENCODE NDA Collections. Each Collection ID links directly to that Collection’s page, where you can:
View basic study information under the General tab.
See what data is currently available under the Shared tab.
Note: If no data appear under the Shared tab, the investigators are still submitting data.
PEC data are stored across two NDA permission groups:
PsychENCODE (PEC) – all collections except one.
NDA-DS (Autism and Related Neurodevelopmental Conditions)-PUB – applies only to C5230: Mapping human brain cell type-specific isoform usage in ASD.
You must submit a separate Data Access Request (DAR) for each permission group you need. Click here for instructions to request access.

To request access to PsychENCODE data, follow these steps:
Check Eligibility
Before requesting access, confirm that you and your institution meet the eligibility criteria..
Submit Your Data Access Requests (DARs)
Submit a Data Access Request (DAR) for each permission group via your Data Permissions Dashboard:
If you need all PsychENCODE data, you must submit two separate DARs for the following permission groups:
PsychENCODE (PEC)
Note: Use of PsychENCODE (PEC) permission group data is limited to Health/Medical/Biomedical purposes, and does not include the study of population origins or ancestry (HMB). Requestor agrees to make results of studies using the data available to the larger scientific community (PUB). The use of this data includes methods development research (e.g. development and testing of software or algorithms).
NDA-DS (Autism and Related Neurodevelopmental Conditions)-PUB
If you do not need access to Collection C5230 (Mapping human brain cell type-specific isoform usage in ASD), you only need to submit a DAR for the PsychENCODE (PEC) permission group.
Use These Resources for Guidance on Submitting Your DAR:
Review and Approval
After you submit your DAR, NDA conducts an initial review before forwarding it to your Signing Official (SO) for signature and the NIH Data Access Committee (DAC) for final approval. The DAC typically completes its review within 10 business days.
Approval and Data Download
Once approved, you’ll receive one year of access to the data. You can immediately begin querying and downloading data using the NDA Query Tool and NDA Download Tools.
The PsychENCODE Consortium has also generated sequencing datasets for brain samples of animal model organisms (mouse and non-human primates). These datasets are available for download from the NCBI GEO repository, at the following accessions:
-GSE225482 {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE225482} and GSE206994 {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE206994} for data from the NHP-Macaque and NHP-Chimpanzee projects (PI: Nenad Sestan).
-GSE67753 {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE67753} for data from the MouseHAL project (PI: Gregory Crawford/Patrick Sullivan}
-GSE334303 {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE334303} for mouse CROP-Seq data (PI: Hyejung Won)
Finally, the consortium has generated de-identified, summary-level processed datasets from the collection samples, such as gene expression matrices, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), cis-candidate regulatory elements (cCREs), and gene regulatory networks (GRNs). These datasets are available to the public on the consortium’s webpage at {https://www.psychencode.org/resources}. Of note, cross-study integrative analysis of all PsychENCODE data are available at {http://resource.psychencode.org} (Phase I) and {http://brainscope.psychencode.org} (Phase II). Many of these data can be visualized using the PsychSCREEN browser at {https://psychscreen.wenglab.org/psychscreen}.
