The days are running together, but I have my HuBMAP meetings to keep me on track! However, I feel like there are important things coming up that I need to remember to do. Can you give me a few hints so I don’t miss anything in all the HuBMAP hubbub?
Sincerely,
Wait, What Day Is It?
Dear Chronologically Challenged,
There is a lot going on in the next couple weeks, so to clear up the hubbub, here is a simple list:
The NIH-HCA Joint Meeting will be from 9:30am – 4:30pm, Monday, March 30 and 10:00am – 4:30pm Tuesday, March 31
Please take note of the different starting times – 9:30 on Monday, 10:00 on Tuesday.
If you registered for the meeting, you should have received an email from admin@hubmapconsortium.org entitled “NIH-HCA Joint Meeting” on March 19 and March 23.
In that email you are asked to please click the link to receive a Zoom ID, click another link to register for KI Storm, and a third link to say which of the breakout sessions you would like to attend.
If you have not done so, please do so now!
In other news, the members of the HIVE will be busy little bees (see what I did there?) as their quarterly progress reports are due on March 31, and their Year 3 renewal proposals are due on April 20!
Also, the RTI proposals are due April 1st, and that’s no fooling!

These supplements will invest in research software tools with recognized value in a scientific community to enhance their impact by leveraging best practices in software development and advances in cloud computing.

COVID-19 HPC Consortium
The White House announced the launch of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium to provide COVID-19 researchers worldwide with access to the world’s most powerful high performance computing resources that can significantly advance the pace of scientific discovery in the fight to stop the virus.
The consortium's Annual All-Hands meeting will be moving to a virtual format due to public health concerns and social gathering restrictions surrounding the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
We are working through the details and will keep you informed as things progress. Thanks for your patience. If you have any questions or concerns please send mail to help@hubmapconsortium.org.
