Collaborations and authorship
Projects developed in response to this FOA should include expertise such as cancer epidemiology, omics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, and/or computational biology.
Any publications resulting from awards funded under this FOA must include acknowledgment of the source of shared data and any funding sources which supported the initial data collection.

Modified to read
Data sharing

Applicants are encouraged to make publicly available the cleaned and harmonized datasets, software and programmed codes developed for the secondary analysis and integration of the data, when appropriate, and consistent with participant informed consent. Sharing of adequate documentation and explanation is also encouraged so that data and tools can be used by researchers not associated with the original study.

Collaborations and authorship
