Small Group Session Email Invite
Hello [Name],
Thank you for attending [name and place of CGR presentation]. As a [role in comparative
genomics research], your perspective is instrumental in guiding CGR’s evolution.
In the coming weeks, we plan to host several small group discussions to build on the [ initial
conversation/previous meeting] with our team. We aim to capture your insights on key areas,
such as:
• Genomics resources you currently use in your research
• How well current NCBI resources and tools for eukaryotic comparative genomics
are meeting your needs
• Resource gaps and barriers that CGR could address
• Questions, concerns, or development ideas for CGR
NCBI has engaged the Health FFRDC, operated by the MITRE Corporation, to help with this
effort. A MITRE representative will contact you soon to schedule this session. Discussions will
be recorded for notetaking purposes only. To promote transparency and candidness in the
discussion, all information will be aggregated and de-identified before being reported back to
NCBI.
Your insights will help inform the evolution of the CGR initiative as we work to maximize the
impact of eukaryotic research organisms and their associated genomic data resources to
biological and medical research.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Best,
[Sender Name]
