ACT Ancillary Studies
Once receiving approval by the ACT Admin Core and Ancillary Study Review Committee, information about ancillary studies is shared to facilitate collaboration on proposed projects and to reduce potential duplication of research on the ACT cohort.
Approved ancillary studies are shared for informational purposes. Investigators who are interested in collaborating with research teams using ACT data can locate grants in the process of being submitted for funding. Interested researchers should contact the lead directly.
