Why the Transition? 

The retirement of the NIH Toolbox V2 app comes as part of our commitment to providing cutting-edge digital assessments to researchers and clinicians across the globe. The NIH Toolbox V3 incorporates significant enhancements in functionality, user interface, and data management capabilities, ensuring a more streamlined and efficient experience for researchers across disciplines. In addition, it provides updates to normative data, streamlining of test instructions and much more.  

Key Features of NIH Toolbox V3: 

  1. Enhanced User Interface: A more intuitive and user-friendly interface designed to simplify navigation and enhance users’ administration experience. 
  2. Advanced Data Management: Improved data management capabilities to facilitate seamless organization, storage, and retrieval of research data. 
  3. Expanded Features: Addition of new and improved tests with updated normed scores and updated versions of existing tools to meet evolving assessment needs. 

Action Required: 

To continue benefiting from the NIH Toolbox and its array of assessment tools, we kindly ask all users currently using the V2 app to transition to V3 at your earliest convenience. The retirement of V2 will involve discontinuation of technical support and updates, making it crucial to switch to V3 to ensure uninterrupted access to the latest features and support. 

How to Transition: 
Transitioning to NIH Toolbox V3 is straightforward: 

  1. Download V3: Visit the Apple App Store or follow links on nihtoolbox.org to download the latest version of the NIH Toolbox V3 app. 
  2. Export Data from your V2 app (if applicable): Make sure to export data from your V2 app to save it and back it up. Note the V3 App is a separate app and does not communicate with the V2 app, so you cannot import data from V2 into the new app. See here for important information when
