The resulting data, and associated clinical and phenotypic data, will become part of the INCLUDE Data Hub for sharing with the research community. No funding will be provided directly to applicants under this NOFO. Applicants are encouraged to propose omics assays of existing biospecimens collected from individuals with Down syndrome and controls.
