EEMS Project for NLST Biospecimens

Applications for access to NLST specimens can be submitted under the PLCO Etiologic and Early Marker Studies Program (EEMS). The application review process opens twice a year, once in the winter and once in the summer. For more information about EEMS, and to initiate an application, visit the "New PLCO EEMS Application" page.
