 Darrell: the monthly invoice is actually more important than what happens in a particular month. TomG: Scooter may prefer fixed-price.  Darrell: possible but requires more specific deliverables. (although "support, training, tutorials" even though vague would be considered specific deliverables, with some quantification, like "at least 3 workshops" or "helpdesk response time within 24 hours")
 
-Meghan: Phil and I talked with Nedda (head of imaging efforts) about how ChimeraX could be used for their atomic and crystallography data. "Hedwig" is an internal application (web app), something like a data repository + lab notebook with built-in tools, Cryosparc, MRC files, ... maybe ChimeraX could output gltf for some built-in viewer. Don't know if some of this could go into the SOW. TomG: take a look at EM databank web-based tools, orthoslice viewer.  ChimeraX is not going the web browser route as far as we know.  Meghan: we did look at Molstar.

+This scientific software development project is contracted to support projects in the NIAID/OCICB/BCBB 3D Printing and Biovisualization program. The UCSF ChimeraX application is an essential tool incorporated in OCICB/BCBB structural biology research support services. In software development projects it serves as the backbone to automated molecular modeling workflows built into BCBB’s applications, especially NIH 3D, the successor platform to the NIH 3D Print Exchange. ChimeraX includes features for advanced visualization of biological structures and medical images in virtual reality (VR). This technology is also a core component of the NIAID Biovisualization Lab, a resource provided by OCICB/BCBB to NIAID scientists and staff with tools and technologies for immersive data exploration using VR and other advanced visualization hardware. Work in this SOW includes the following:
+
+- (1) support for NIH 3D workflows, including rewriting of existing Chimera 1.0 scripts used in the NIH 3D Print Exchange;
+- (2) improvements to ChimeraX tools to better process and visualize data derived from cryo electron microscopy experiments, particularly data originating from the NIAID RML microscopy facility;
+- (3) improved tools for visualizing medical imaging data in ChimeraX; and
+- (4) new and improved features for exploring biological structure data and medical images in a remote, collaborative, immersive environment using VR technology.

+Darrell:
+Could potentially include support for Hedwig and imaging; workflows in Hedwig. Also, support for building up capability with OpenMM – specifically Peter Steinbach's water model.
