Dear TPP Users, Last year many of you were kind enough to write excellent letters of support for our grant application to maintain funding for the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline. While this grant is still under review, we have been strongly encouraged to apply for funding for the TPP through the "Grand Opportunities" (RC2) call (under the NIGMS "hardening" of software area) and we need your help to convince the reviewers that the TPP is a widely used tool in both academic and commercial environments.
As this grant is part of the Recovery Act we need to show both that the TPP helps to propel science, and enables the economy. A letter from you as a TPP user and consumer of open proteomics formats and software, will have a significant effect on whether or not we receive additional funding for the maintenance and continued enhancement of the software suite. If you use the TPP in your research or as part of a commercial bundle we are asking you to help us demonstrate the usefulness of this product to the proteomics community. If you are interested and willing to offer a signed letter of support, we can help you by providing a draft letter for you to edit and/or a summary of what we intend to do with the TPP through this grant. Time is short for this call, however. If you are able to help us, please email us immediately at skillco...@systemsbiology.org as we need letters by Monday, May 18th Thank you very much for your continued support! -- SPC Tools Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
