The primary goal of this FOA is to maintain and maximize investments in existing prospective cohorts by supporting the infrastructure needed to facilitate resource sharing with the broader scientific communities, and prepare for future innovative research opportunities. This FOA aims to establish the foundational framework for innovative research hypotheses to be funded through ancillary research.
