NIMH is interested in compiling and
curating an integrated database that includes study- and
subject-level data from studies of cognitive remediation in
schizophrenia (regardless of funding source). The Database of
Cognitive Training and Remediation Studies (DCTRS) would provide a
repository for investigators who want to share their data. The
integrated database would allow NIMH staff and approved
investigators to test novel hypotheses about patient
characteristics and treatment features that are associated with
optimal treatment outcomes using existing rather than investing in
new data collection efforts
