Dear colleagues,

The NIH is carrying out an assessment of the Protein Structural
Initiative (PSI) and is requesting comments from anyone who is
interested in or affected by the PSI.

This is your chance to tell the NIH your thoughts on structural
genomics in general and on the US Protein Structure Initiative in
particular.. Please take advantage of this opportunity You don't
have to live in the US to answer the survey. They want to know how
the PSI affects everyone.

Here are some things to consider when responding:

1. The PSI may affect you directly: (you used technology supported by
the PSI; you used a structure solved by the PSI; you collaborated
with a PSI center)
2. ...or indirectly (your national structural genomics project would
never have come into being if a worldwide effort including the PSI
had not begun; you used structural genomics as an argument for
relevance or utility of your research)

It's easy to participate in the survey: send an email
to PSI.RFI@nigms.nih.gov. You will receive a message in response
listing questions to respond to. The NIH is accepting comments until
July 20, 2007

For accomplishments of PSI-1 (pilot phase, now completed) see:
http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Initiatives/PSI/Background/PilotFacts.htm
For an update on the PSI as of July, 2007,
see: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/News/Reports/psi2_update_052007.htm
For more information on the assessment process
see: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/About/Council/PSIAssessment/ .

I hope that you will email the NIH today and respond to their survey!

All the best,
Tom T
