Suggested Hosting Location	Advantages
MICAD	Website already exists
CIRP HUB	Website already exists
NCI hosting	Could be publicly accessible and built for purpose
Journals Articles—SI or appendix	System exists, protocols are publicly accessible, funding included in page charges
STAR protocols & manuscripts	Website: already exists, is publicly accessible, used in biology
Github	Website: already exists, publicly accessible, non-for profit, free
Protocols.io	Website: already exists, publicly accessible, non-for profit, free, can reference PLOS one, leveraged by PDX consortium
Suggested Hosting Location	Challenges
MICAD	No funding, time, or personnel to update site
CIRP HUB	Website is small and not publicly accessible
NCI hosting	No funding, time, or personnel to create site
Journals Articles—SI or appendix	Cannot update or sunset protocols, template adoption may be difficult
STAR protocols & manuscripts	Cannot update or sunset protocols, template adoption may be difficult, need journal to adopt templates and template updates
Github	Solution primarily used in software development, may need to adapt format for biological protocols
Protocols.io	Currently free but may be moving to paid subscription model
