The PCGC invites proposals to conduct ancillary studies that advance the field of pediatric cardiac genomics and would benefit from access to the CHD GENES patient cohort, phenotype and genotype data, and/or biospecimens collected by the PCGC. For more information, please review the Ancillary Study Policy and Procedures, as well as the Application Form. Questions may be directed to the PCGC Steering Committee Chair, or NHLBI Project Scientist.
