A single attachment must be included that contains the full protocol. This should be a single PDF file with the name "PrecISE protocol.pdf".

The Clinical Protocol should not repeat information provided in the Research Strategy, and may not exceed 12 pages. It should provide detailed information about the patient phenotypes, predictive and monitoring biomarkers, proposed interventions, outcomes that will determine a participant’s continuation with a specific intervention or a change to a different intervention, and trial outcomes. Data, biospecimen collection and analysis plans, and subject visit schedule should be included. The underlying assumptions and statistical methodologies that are proposed to inform decision-making algorithms regarding therapeutic responsiveness and achievement of primary and secondary endpoints should be included. It is expected that information provided will inform the evaluation of feasibility and investigative team expertise and readiness to execute precision, adaptive clinical trials in severe and/or exacerbation prone asthma patients.

All other aspects of this FOA remain unchanged.
