Friends,

For those of you who attended the RNA structure modeling workshop, I would be very grateful if you could send even a brief email of support based on your experience (if you feel so inclined).  We would like to have more workshops in our renewal, and need to show some impact.

Dear Friends of Simbios,

 
We are writing a proposal to renew NIH support for the Simbios (http://simbios.stanford.edu/) center as part of the National Centers for Biomedical Computing program. The SimTK code and supporting infrastructure—such as the Simtk.org website, our user support, and the free training workshops and manuals—all depend upon Simbios.

It would be a great help to our proposal to have testimonial letters from you, stating how you are using or plan to use Simtk.org--the applications and/or the SimTK libraries (including Simbody).  We would be particularly interested in knowing if you have incorporated the SimTK libraries in any of your projects, if the team and resources at Simbios/Stanford have helped you, your interest in participating in future workshops and/or collaborations, and any other thoughts or support that might be helpful. We are sure that a diversity of letters from around the world will help our renewal effort.

We would be very grateful if you could send a signed letter (preferably as an attached PDF file on your letterhead) to me or Joy Ku, joyku at stanford.edu, by December 14th, Stanford’s internal deadline for submitting the proposal. If you would like to provide a letter but cannot meet this deadline, please let me know. We can add a few letters at the end of December, if we know they are coming.

Thanks so much for your ongoing participation and support.

Sincerely,
Russ B. Altman
Simbios National Center for Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structure
