- Public Information (to be linked on the NIMBioS website) Provide a single paragraph (8-10 lines) on what exactly was done at the meeting and on the future plans. At the end of this paragraph, list the names and affiliation (including departments) of all participants at the meeting.

- What exactly did you do during the meeting?
- Describe new collaborations that were established, if any (with/between whom? Provide names and affiliations). Include a brief description of what the collaborators are hoping to accomplish.
- What are the meeting deliverables, e.g., papers, software, database, including things that are in progress? Be specific, e.g., for papers, list the tentative titles and current co-authors.
- What are the next steps in your group activities?
- Are there any students/postdocs at your home institution who are involved in projects related to the group activities? List names and departmental affiliation.

All Participants (including Short-term Visitors and Workshop/Working Group Organizers)
The primary responsibility of NIMBioS researchers – visitors and residents – is to fulfill their goals regarding the scholarly activities undertaken at the Institute. Results produced from NIMBioS research activities are very important in measuring the success of NIMBioS.
Researchers are expected to report to NIMBioS any publications and/or other products that have resulted from activities at NIMBioS. In addition, copies of articles published should be sent to the Institute in electronic form. All research products derived in whole or in part through activities funded by NIMBioS are expected to formally acknowledge the role that NIMBioS funding played in the product development.
