Dear @RAREXPreregistrants , We?re one week out from the launch of **Xcelerate RARE: Open Science Data Challenge**! Once it launches, there will be three challenge questions posed. IMPORTANT: the third challenge question, related to therapeutic approaches to treating rare neurodevelopment disorders, requires a signed Data Privacy Agreement directly with RARE-X (part of Global Genes). This is required in order to be eligible for grant funding. This process can be started today- before the challenge officially opens. Please start by [submitting a Data Access Request form](https://forms.monday.com/forms/ea07b0b0ddc4d535018647eeaae8ef14?r=use1) now!

Got it, thanks!
Hi @luzhixiu, You should enter the country that you will be accessing the data from on the OSDC data request form. Best, Maria
For the OSDC data request form, is the PI country field asking for country of residence or country of citizenship? Thanks Zhixiu
Hi @Akhil, You can participate in the Challenge, Tasks 1 & 2, without a data use agreement. The data use agreement is required to participate in Task 3 of the Challenge.
I have a question. Without data use agreement, I cant participate in the Challenge?
