Dear Participants, Thank you for your enthusiasm for FINRISK - Heart Failure and Microbiome DREAM challenge. We are looking forward for evaluating your submission. However, currently, we are facing a technical problem that we are hoping to resolve soon. Apologize for those who submitted the work and have not been informed of the results as we are unable to process your submissions. Regarding this, we have updated the timeline with one-month extension, please see [Timeline section](https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn27130803/wiki/616705) in the overview page. We are very sorry for the delay and thank you for your understanding. Please make sure to submit before the **new** deadline to refrain from any further delay. In addition, thank you very much for your active involvement in the discussion channel. We updated the [guideline](https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn27130803/wiki/619286) specifically for those intended to submit the zipped file of singularity image and code separately (not as executable singularity image). We are now requiring you to add one file named **Run** which includes 1 line command to execute your submission without the argument for the script (as we will add this to the path of the input of the real FINRISK dataset). This will simplify our evaluation workflow. For those who already submit the zipped file, please contact pande@synapse.org with one line command. Apologize for the inconveniencex and thank you for your cooperation. Additionally, **We will not** send you an e-mail upon receiving your submission. Please monitor your submission through [Submission Dashboard](https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn27130803/wiki/619283). You can expect to get back the evaluations result from us within a week upon submission (after we resolve our technical issue, we will keep you posted). If it goes beyond, we will send you/your team an e-mail notifying about the delay. In the current status, we are hoping to be able to process 5-10 submissions/day. Thank you very much again for your understanding. Best regards, FINRISK DREAM Challenge Organizers
