Help Us Keep Skyline Funded!

Dear Skyline Users,

Our federal grant support for the Skyline Software Ecosystem is entering its last year. Over the last 4 years we have been fortunate to have National Institutes of Health support for an R24 National Resource Center. Our research resource titled “Seattle Quant: A Resource for the Skyline Software Ecosystem” has been a critical component of our funding to keeping Skyline free and open-source to anyone willing to download and use it.

With changes occurring at the NIH, it is not entirely clear what mechanisms will be available from the NIH to continue supporting this resource over the next funding cycle. Because of the importance of this project for the mass spectrometry community, we plan to submit multiple proposals to give us the best opportunity of continuing to support the ecosystem of tools that this resource has built and continues to support. Because of the importance of highlighting the broad impact of the Skyline Software Ecosystem, we ask for you to add your name, position, and institution to a community letter of support that we will include with the funding applications.

Providing your support is easy and free.

Thank you for your support!

You can multiply your impact by writing a personal letter addressed to our primary contact at an instrument vendor explaining how Skyline works with an instrument or instruments of theirs to enhance your mass spectrometry research. Give details and be explicit and let them know clearly that the software and keeping it growing and supported is important to you.

Use one of the templates below to get the right contact. Then print it on your institution letterhead, sign and scan the signed letter to a PDF. Send the PDF and email:
