-Leveraging already collected samples or developed tools (PBMCs, liquid biopsies, etc).
-Proposals focusing on getting data back to patients and increasing and leveraging patient reported outcomes.
-Collaborative proposals with companies.

In addition, new proposed subprojects for which external funding is identified are welcome to apply.

The deadline for applications is August 20.
