... . • Several cloud-based infrastructures have been developed for managing neuroimaging data, including the Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite, CBRAIN, LORIS, and the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform; however, the economics and sustainability of cloud-based approaches for neuroimaging data remain a concern (Barch, Evans, Marcus, Martone, Turner)

... Relatedly, long-term storage costs for neuroimaging data can be expensive due to their size; although options for different types of storage exist (e.g., for archived data or data being actively used) , a sustainable support plan and a plan for removing neuroimaging data when they may no longer be relevant or useful is helpful, discussed Milham, Deanna Barch, Daniel Marcus, and Maryann Martone.

... Evans added that NIMH established the NDA3 to store and share data, including clinical and neuroimaging data. However, Stacia Friedman-Hill, acting program chief for the Biomarker and Intervention Development for ChildhoodOnset Mental Disorders Branch of the Division of Translational Research at NIMH, suggested that the responsibility for archiving data may need to 2  For more information, see https://conp.ca (accessed November 11, 2019)

... Randal Burns added that guidelines for prioritizing data for preservation should include reproducibility, that is, whether data and analytical methods have been published. Friedman-Hill added that while neuroimaging technology changes so rapidly that data may become obsolete, she believes there are scientific reasons to preserve some of the older data, which may be useful for epidemiological studies.
