Yes, you can. You would need to provide the full legal names and contact information for external collaborators (i.e., those employed outside Coprimary PI’s institution). External collaborators should be listed in the external collaborator(s) section of the project request applications. Data exchange between all collaborators must be consistent with the NIH Security Best Practices for Controlled-Access Data Subject to the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy and GDS Policy.

External collaborators must submit a project request with (1) the same project title and (2) a Research Use Statement and Cloud Use Statement, if applicable, that references the collaboration (for smaller collaborations, the name and institution of the collaborating PI(s) or for larger efforts, the consortium name)..

You can revise your application to include such a statement if it hasn’t been included. Please see here for more about how to revise and resubmit a dbGaP project.
