---------------------------------------

* Majority of common fund reserved for new submissions. Administrative/competitive revision supplements will be handled on an ad-hoc basis, a smaller portion of the common fund will go there. This in addition to the stimulus $$$ to be handed out by individual ICs.
 +
* In response to a question by Andrea Califano if one could submit a supplement for 50% of a Center's budget, Karin said that she will inquire about specifics but that 50% seemed rather on the high side of what would/could be supported. The point was also made that there is a single pool of money for both supplement types (admin/competitive) and that competitive supplements are appropriate only in case of expanding work scope.
 +
*In terms of timelines, there is a good chance that there will be additional calls or supplements, in addition to the one in the recent RFA. Centers that wish to pursue supplements should discuss their proposals with their program officer, who needs to sign off to supplement requests. In the context of such conversations it is appropriate to inquire if the program officer's IC would be willing to pick up the supplemet funding (instead of having the $$$ come from the Common Fund).

* Regarding the NCBC re-competition, the application submission deadline will probably be sometime in September-October.

'''''Andrea Califano - Update on DBP WG'''''
 +
----------------------------------
 +
* Update of WG calls. Agreed to create an interactive DBP-ome. Provide info on projects, tools, publications, interactions, etc. Points of contact have been defined at the various Centers to collect data and develop sw. A web site (similar to that developed by the yellow-pages WG) will be created soon.
 +
* Another initiative agreed upon is to have a web site to publish movies of seminars that take place in the various institutes. Lyster/Athey commented that the site could also be used to post other related talks, e.g., those from Valerie Florance's seminars series.
 +
* (Cavacoli). He sent a message earlier today about the info needed for the DBP-ome. People are responding rapidly. He expects him and Zhong Li to start working on the collected data. Also, mentioned that NCIBI has a software for sharing seminar movies, we can maybe use that.

-------------------

* The biosite map site is complete. All needed search/browsing functionality is complete. Next step is populating with content about various Center tools.
 +
* (Athey): can this be used to catalogue the software tools in the 38 CTSAs (Besich and him are spearheading)? Beth said yes, and that they are working on this with the CTSA program.
