The NIAID TB Portals Program is a multi-national collaboration for tuberculosis (TB) data sharing and analysis to advance TB research.
TB Portals is a web-based, open-access repository of multi-domain TB data and tools for its analysis. It offers linked socioeconomic/geographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological, and genomic data from over 3,400 international TB patient cases.
Researchers can explore and analyze these data through any of the tools. TB Portals data are also available for download to support your own research.

Main Areas of Focus
- Support scientific research through data sharing and collaboration with scientists and programs studying various clinical, genomic, and radiological aspects of TB.
- Partner with institutions around the world to collect multi-domain data from TB patient cases.
- Share multi-domain data, so each TB Portals case includes linked clinical, demographic, bacterial genomic, and radiological information.
Tools
Collaboration Opportunities
Collaboration with clinical and research partners is a key part of the TB Portals program. Sites across Eastern Europe, Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa are sharing data through the TB Portals.
The Program also engages with academic and private partners on research and software development projects, focusing on TB genomics, radiomics, and data science.
How To Get Started
Anyone can access and use TB Portals after reviewing the data sharing and acknowledgement policies.
