How may CTN investigators gain access to submit and store data and biologic materials at the NCGS?
A5. Ideally, the concept for a genetics protocol should be discussed in the very early stages of the parent protocol development so that there is more opportunity for genetics issues to be resolved (i.e. statistical power for low effect sizes, population stratification, etc). Once a concept has been established, the process proceeds in two stages (See attached flow diagram for process). Stage I is the genetics protocol concept approval process and Stage II is the dataset request. The process may take 2-3 months. Investigators must submit a concept to the Executive Committee for initial comment and approval for proceeding to obtain funding. The proposal should include a detailed budget (for CTN costs), and documentation that the CTN Lead Investigator of the parent study has discussed the plan and is in concurrence with the proposal. In the event that the NGC Repository is unable to accept submission of samples due to budgetary limitations, the budget should also include a contingency to
