NA-MIC Dissemination Update, Year 6


The dissemination goal in the sixth year of NA-MIC was to continue the outreach activities that were established in the prior years of the center. In addition to the training events reported by the Training core, XX birds-of-a-feather meetings were held in collaboration with the Service core. The wiki-based collaborative web presence was also maintained and expanded this year.

The Dissemination Core has again been active in promoting NA-MIC methodologies and technologies among the scientific communities. A complete list of events is available on the NA-MIC web site, but a few notable activities in the past year include XX and XXX.

Birds-of-a-Feather Meetings: The “Programming Week” event that was started in the first year of NA-MIC to gauge the interest of participants in spending a week together working on NA-MIC projects, renamed to "Project Week" to reflect its expanded its scope and duration in the second, third, and fourth years, continued to gain momentum in the sixth year. It continues to include projects that involve all the center cores as well as several funded and non-funded collaborators. The duration in the sixth year was maintained at 2 weeks per year - the last week of June at MIT, as well four days in conjunction with the all-hands meeting in January. The FIRST JOINT PROJECT WEEK (and the ninth NA-MIC Project Event) was held June 22-26, 2009 in Boston, at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital. It recorded 134 registered attendees, who worked on 62 projects. These attendees represented 31 academic sites and 9 companies. The 10th PROJECT EVENT was held January 4-8,2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. It recorded 107 registered attendees, who worked on 49 projects. These attendees represented 22 academic sites and 6 companies. The projects, agenda, and affiliations of attendees are detailed below.Details of all programming/project weeks are available here: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Engineering:Programming_Events.
