🚨 Important Reminder: Final submission deadline is October 31!

[Jen-OMalley]

Hello everyone!

We're sharing a final reminder for those currently working on an analysis or a protocol associated with a grant opportunity. The final submission deadline is coming up this month! 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 intend to contribute further, we encourage you to do so this week. We expect it to take at least a couple of weeks between your next 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!
