Best practices for sample collection and preparation do not yet exist. Could a major portion of the first phase be devoted to the development of sample collection and preparation protocols?

However, a successful demonstration project will need to be able to demonstrate by the end of the UH2 phase not only that samples can be collected and processed, but that information can be obtained that will be useful for demonstrating the correlation between the composition of the relevant microbiome and the health/disease under study.
