Reminder: Final submission deadline is October 31!

[Jen-OMalley]

Hello everyone!

We're sharing a reminder for those currently working on an analysis or a protocol associated with a grant opportunity. The final submission deadline is at the end of October! Please keep these important dates in mind as you continue to make progress.

• Analyst Awards: The final table and Description section of the README must be approved via pull request by 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time on October 31, 2025.
• Advisor Awards: The final protocol must be approved, as indicated by a GitHub Discussions comment from an ALSF Childhood Cancer Data Lab staff member, by 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time on October 31, 2025.
• Application Submission Deadline, if eligible: 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time on November 14, 2025 or within ten days of notification of eligibility, whichever is sooner.

If you have not yet filed your first pull request, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. We expect it to take at least one month between your initial pull request and the final submission acceptance required for grant eligibility.

We are available if you’d like to discuss your plans or have any questions about the contributing process. Thank you for being part of OpenScPCA. Your contributions are helping to build a valuable resource that will benefit a broad community of researchers!
