About the Data
Kids First studies on the portal are ready for analysis, having been harmonized and curated by the Kids First Data Resource Center team. These experts apply deep experience with pediatric data and are considerate of community feedback. Kids First data is functionally equivalent to other extensive genomic efforts such as GTeX and NCI Genomic Data Commons.
Variants of interest and genomic data are paired with clinical data for quick analysis startup.
Robust data includes SNVs, CNVs, and SVs annotated with Cancer Hotspots. Trio-structured germline data allows for de novo discoveries within families. These are produced by publicly available bioinformatic pipelines that are tested, documented, and accessible. Conditions are harmonized to be easily searched, regardless of the data language you speak. The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) for phenotypes and MONDO Ontology for diagnoses enable cohort discovery on the Kids First Portal.

Access the Studies
The Kids First Data Resource Portal is a collection of studies from various investigators who perform disease-specific research. Originally part of separate research studies, the goal of collecting and sharing these studies to enable other investigators to combine and create new studies and research based on the data already collected.
Explore the many disease areas represented in datasets currently available through the portal. Additional conditions are anticipated to be added through future Kids First opportunities.

Your Questions Answered
What can you find on this website?
You can find out about the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center, and sign up to access data, tools, and resources offered through Kids First.
Access pediatric cancer and congenital disorder data here.
How is Kids First Data Collected?
Researchers contribute tens of thousands of patient DNA samples collected from blood, tissue, and saliva to be sequenced and integrated with patient clinical data in the Kids First DRC.
In addition, patient families can partner with researchers by participating in studies seeking cures for childhood cancer and congenital disorders.
How to attribute Kids First Data in Publications
In addition to listing the PHS Accession Number(s) of the datasets used for a particular analysis and the databases from which they are accessible to the research community, X01 investigator teams (i.e., “Contributing Investigator(s)”) are asked to describe support for the project, including NIH grant numbers.
Secondary users, or “end users,” must acknowledge all datasets used in a publication or analysis by listing all relevant dbGaP PHS Accession Numbers and the URLs of the databases where the datasets were accessed. The Data Use Certification (DUC) agreed to by secondary users outlines how to use and acknowledge each approved dataset.
Is there a sample statement for the acknowledgment?
Yes! See below.
The results analyzed and here are based in whole or in part upon data generated by Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) projects and are accessible through from the Kids First Data Resource Portal (kidsfirstdrc.org) and/or dbGaP (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap). Kids First was supported by the Common Fund of the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (www.commonfund.nih.gov/KidsFirst). The was awarded a U24 () to sequence [childhood cancer and/or structural birth defect cohort samples] submitted by investigators through the Kids First program (). Additional funds supported assembling the cohorts, collecting the phenotypic data and samples, and/or data analysis.
