Data Access
AIMS-2-TRIALS researchers are pleased to announce the first release of data to the autism research community
This includes data from the first and second timepoints of the Longitudinal European Autism Project (LEAP). The project includes data from autistic and non-autistic children/young people and adults (6-30 years of age at the first timepoint) collected over approximately 4 years between 2014 and 2017.
More details on this project can be found here and in our LEAP leaflet.
By sharing AIMS-2-TRIALS data, we aim to further the progress of autism research. Data sharing is an important aspect of the scientific process. It brings about many benefits, such as encouraging transparency and accountability, promoting collaboration and sharing of expertise between research groups, and allowing researchers to perform more powerful analyses with larger samples.
AIMS-2-TRIALS data will only be shared where participants have given explicit consent to the sharing of this data beyond the AIMS-2-TRIALS consortium.
AIMS-2-TRIALS autistic representatives (A-Reps) have been involved in the planning process through a dedicated data sharing working group, including advising on key ethical considerations around data sharing, and reviewing and editing our data sharing policies/procedures. The review committee for project proposals includes A-Rep members and researchers from the AIMS-2-TRIALS consortium.
