NDP brings together secure research infrastructure, specialist data services and operational governance to support neurological research at scale.
Each Hub keeps what makes it distinctive. NDP runs the shared foundation underneath.
An NDP Hub is a dedicated data and research environment built around a particular programme, condition, community or collection of datasets.
Behind it, NDP provides shared infrastructure and managed data services — capabilities that are more efficient and sustainable when delivered once across a common platform.

These capabilities can support the full data lifecycle — and can be used individually or brought together as a managed NDP Hub.
NDP is delivered through SeRP’s secure infrastructure and managed within an ISO 27001 accredited information security management system, covering both technical operations and data management processes.
Information is prepared and protected appropriately.
Use must be scientifically and ethically appropriate.
Researchers are verified, trained and accountable.
Data are accessed within controlled research environments.
Results are reviewed before they leave the environment.
Approved researchers work remotely within secure project environments. Participant-level data remain inside the controlled infrastructure, and only approved outputs can be released.
Shared infrastructure doesn’t remove the authority of data providers or study governance panels. NDP facilitates the agreed processes and implements access decisions — it does not assume ownership of deposited data or override those responsible for approving its use.
Your programme continues to lead the science and its community. NDP manages the complexity behind the data.
