<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Invitation to participate in a global pathology network
for research and training in leishmaniasis (LeishPathNet)</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">You may recall the Dormy House meeting in 2008 and some
of the plans we put forward?<span> </span>Over the past couple years, I
have also spoken more to a few of you about one idea that was formulated at
Dormy, namely of setting up a digital pathology network. I have also had
numerous discussions with the major equipment manufacturers to see if any of
them would be supportive of helping us to develop such an
initiative.<span> </span>There have been two major develoments
recently.<span> </span>First, Carl Zeiss is willing to work with us to
set up an integrated global digital pathology network (providing a significant
financial and technical contribution) and second, the Wellcome Trust is
willing to review a pre-proposal to fund the initiative through their new
Biomedical Resources Grant scheme (<a href="http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Biomedical-science/Funding-schemes/Strategic-awards-and-initiatives/wtdv031727.htm" target="_blank">http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Biomedical-science/Funding-schemes/Strategic-awards-and-initiatives/wtdv031727.htm</a>)
.</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">I have attached an outline of the project that I had
sent to the Trust for their initial views, which I think is reasonably
self-explanatory. <span> </span>They appeared very
enthusiastic!<span> </span>The main question now is whether enough of
you are still supportive? [ I will also be sending this email to others, but
please feel free to circulate ]<br></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>I think the project will be challenging, but
success could have a real impact on the way we conduct business. It
should serve not only as a vehicle to enhance research in leishmaniasis, but
the model would be equally applicable across a broad range of diseases and
global challenges (with leishmaniasis setting the pace).</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>If we wish to proceed, the requirements are that
we submit a pre-proposal to the Trust by <b>Oct 18<sup>th</sup>
2011</b>.<span> </span>This pre-proposal is short (4 sections of 350
words) and requires letters of support from the community.<span>
</span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>If you are supportive of the idea that we try to
take this forward (and there is plenty of scope for later iteration of the
detail), I would be grateful if you could please provide me with a letter of
support by <b>September 12<sup>th</sup> 2011, </b>indicating whether you would
like to be a network partner if the bid is successful.<span> </span>You
could also be supportive but not wish to become directly involved at this
stage, and such letters are equally valuable. Your letter might also stress
the added value that the network could provide, its importance for research
and training and/or for progressing the translational agenda.<span>
</span>It would also be an opportunity to indicate whether your group (or
institute, if multiple groups) would be interested in bidding to be one of the
initial ‘designated laboratories’. <span> </span></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>If there is sufficient support to proceed and if
subsequently the pre-proposal is successful (we will know on 22<sup>nd</sup>
Nov), then I will need a few volunteers to help finalise the full proposal,
which will be due on Jan 26<sup>th</sup> 2012.<span> </span>A funding
decision will be made on May 26<sup>th</sup> 2012. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>Best wishes and of course I am happy to discuss
any points further (though I will be out of the UK from Aug 10 –Sept
12)</span></p>
