From docgca at gmail.com Tue Dec 4 15:12:50 2018 From: docgca at gmail.com (Gary An) Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 18:12:50 -0500 Subject: [Population Modeling] Status update on the Population Working Group Message-ID: Hello list, As many of you may know, the Multiscale Modeling Consortium and the Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group of the NIH, which is the parent organization for this working group, has been undergoing a restructuring of the past year. One of consequences of that restructuring is a reassessment of the various working groups previously established. Bruce Lee and myself (Gary An) were selected to head the Population Working Group, and we have had a series discussions with members of the steering committee regarding the direction of this working group moving forward. The result of those discussions was an agreement to put this working group on hold for the foreseeable future while we consider how it fits in with the wider MSM community (with direction from the Steering Committee) and how to be more responsive to NIH priorities and initiatives. We anticipate having a plan to present at the MSM Annual Meeting in March. In the meantime, the content of this mailing list will be archived but it will no longer be active. We want to thank you all for your participation, and particular, special thanks to Jacob Barhak for his efforts and energy in service of this Group. Sincerely, Gary An and Bruce Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
