Request for letters of support for TPP software maintenance grant.

[David Shteynberg]

Dear TPP Users,

 

We are submitting an NIH grant proposal to continue the development and maintenance of the TPP and need your help to convince the reviewers that the TPP is a widely used tool that merits continued funding.

 

The TPP users can have a significant effect on whether or not we can receive additional funding for the maintenance and continued enhancement of the software suite.  If you use the TPP in your research we are asking you to help us demonstrate the usefulness of this product to the proteomics community.  

 

Should you be gracious enough to write a signed letter of support that we can submit with our proposal, please send us an email at <lwilk...@systemsbiology.org> and we will email you a sample letter with the grant title and other pertinent information.  Otherwise, please still consider helping us by answering a few short questions.

 

Thank you very much for your continued support!

 

--SPC Tools Team
