a(n) = (Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^k*(2k+1)*C(n-1,k)^2*C(n+k,k)^2)/n, where C(n,k) denotes the binomial coefficient n!/(k!*(n-k)!).

COMMENTS

Zhi-Wei Sun proved that a(n) is always an integer, and that Sum_{k=0..n-1}(2k+1)*A(k) = n^3*a(n), where A(k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j*(2j+1)^2*C(k,j)^2*C(k+j,j)^2.
The Zeilberger algorithm could yield a complicated fourth-order recurrence for this sequence.

a(2) = -13 since Sum_{k=0,1}(-1)^k*(2k+1)C(1,k)^2*C(2+k,k)^2 = 1 - 3*3^2 = 2*(-13).
