Hello Haoze, Final\_model\_3 was received and successfully scored. Thank you very much for participating in the challenge. You can submit the supplementary material by emailing challenges@cstructure.io with the subject line Covid Causal Diagram DREAM Challenge Supplementary Material. Best, Erick
Hi Erick, We have resubmitted our `Final_model_3`, could you please kindly confirm whether you can see it now? Also, how can we submit the 3-page supplementary material (if we did not write the methodology in the causal edge)? Best, Haoze
Hello Tsai-Min, Final\modelSS was successfully scored. Cheers, Erick
Hello Haoze, Final\_Model\_1 and Final\_Model\_2 were successfully scored. I do not see Fina\l_model\_3. Cheers, Erick
Hi Erick, Thank you so much for your email. Also, we have submitted our another model -- `Final_model_3`. Could you please kindly confirm whether it can be scored successfully? Best, Haoze
Hi Erick, Thanks for your reply. We have submitted our another final model, "Final_modelSS". Could you please help us check if it is valid? Yours, Tsai-Min, on behalf of team Metformin-121
Hi Erick, Thank you so much for letting us know. However, I did not receive your email. Did you send the email to li4456@purdue.edu? Best, Haoze
Hello Haoze, I sent you an email regarding Final_model_1. I hope you will submit additional models, Final_model_1 was unable to converge. Best, Erick
Dear Organizers, Our team has just submissted our first model -- `Final_model_1`. Could you please kindly confirm that it can be scored successfully? Thank you! Best, Haoze
Hello Tsai-Min, We have received your final model and we can confirm that it can be successfully scored. As a reminder, a team can submit up to 3 final models. Best regards, Erick
Dear organizers, Thanks for your reply. We have submitted our final model, "Final_modelS", but we don't know how to confirm that you received it and scored it successfully. Could you please help us here? Yours, Tsai-Min, on behalf of team Metformin-121
Hello Tsai-Min, Yes, write-ups assist in authorship for the paper describing the challenge. Typically the write-ups are collected at the conclusion of the challenge. We do encourage you to describe your methodology in the causal edge (treatment -> outcome) narrative when submitting your final model, but it is optional. Thank you for the question and your participation.
Dear organizers, Should we need to submit a write-up to become one of the authors of the challenge papers you are going to publish according to the DREAM OFFICIAL CHALLENGE RULE?: ``` 9. PRIZES: MONETARY AWARDS AND CO-AUTHORED CHALLENGE PUBLICATION(S) a. Monetary awards, if applicable, will be awarded only to Challenge Participants who are at or above the age of majority in their jurisdiction or residence. If a winner is a minor, any monetary award will be given to the Challenge Participant’s parent or guardian. b. When applicable, publication authorship byline(s) will be awarded to the top-performing Challenge Team(s) in good standing (i.e., that submit and make publicly available their final Entry(ies) and any write-up, code or other requirement of a particular Challenge). With respect to the winning Team(s), only the names of the registered Team Members and any affiliated Lab Head or Principal Investigator will be listed as co-authors in the byline of the Challenge publication. Challenge organizers reserve the right to organize the publication authorship and contribution list. c. Best performance in a Challenge does not automatically translate into first or last authorship in the byline for the members of the best performing team. Usually the first and last positions of the byline are reserved to the main organizers and/or data contributors in recognition of their efforts in organizing or providing the data for the Challenge and for taking a leadership role in writing the paper. In order for best performers to also be co-first or co- corresponding author, their contribution must be fundamental to the paper and above the expected method write up, such as doing additional analysis to strengthen the publication or contributing to the writing of the manuscript. d. All non-best performer participants in good standing (i.e., that submit and make publicly available their final Entry(ies)) will be added as a member of the Challenge Consortium, and will appear in the byline as 'DREAM Challenge Consortium', or similar denomination. The identity of the participants in this Consortium will be listed at the end of the paper: the listing of Consortium members is searchable in PubMed as “Collaborators”. e. Should the members of a team decide not to be included as a byline or consortium co-author or Collaborator in a paper, these members grant permission for their methods to be mentioned and described in the paper in relation to its methodological and performance contributions to the Challenge. f. Prize awards are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. All decisions of DREAM/Sage and the Challenge Organizers will be final and binding on all matters relating to the Challenge. g. If best performers are unable to accept awards, awards will be distributed to next best performers provided they have satisfied all the requirements for the final scoring round and are in good standing for the Challenge. ``` Yours, Tsai-Min

Additional details have been posted on the Challenge Wiki: **Final Submission**: Final model submission due by **August 6th, 2025** - Each team may submit up to 3 separate models - The feature set for the final models is the same as the mid-point evaluation (sdy1760) - Each adjusted node and edges for adjusted nodes should include a narrative describing your causal reasoning for including the node/edge in your adjustment set - The submitted model name should include the word 'Final' - Supplementary materials describing your methodological approach (optional) can be provided in the narrative section of the causal edge (e.g. steroids -> 28 day survival) Thank you for participating in the challenge.
