... available to the non-commercial research community, based on the advice of previous National Research Council committees. As in those prior rounds, the goal of the ninth RFP for simulation time on Anton 2 is to continue to facilitate breakthrough research in the study of biomolecular systems by providing a massively parallel system specially designed for molecular dynamics simulations.
From page 3...
... The committee was asked to identify proposals that best met the selection criteria defined above. Anton 2 time allocations of 460,000 MDUs was the maximum amount of time available to a proposal.

... . In numerical order by proposal submission number, the proposals judged by the committee as best meeting the selection criteria of the RFP are: PSCA18002P Cristiano Dias, New Jersey Institute of Technology; Role of Magnesium on the Allosteric Effect of the Circadian Clock Protein KaiC [New user identified for 156,796 MDUs]

From page 8...
... The time allocations for the 57 proposals identified by the committee as best meeting the selection criteria for time allocations total approximately 15,800,000 MDUs. Approximately 23.3% of the MDUs were allocated to proposals whose PI have not received time on Anton.
From page 9...
... The committee members were universally enthusiastic about the potential advances in the field facilitated by Anton 2 and are looking forward to seeing the important new results from the Anton users. Sincerely, Angel Garcia Chair, Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics, Ninth Round cc: Dr.

... After 2 years as a postdoctoral fellow at Argonne National Laboratory working with Benoit Roux, he started his lab at Georgia Tech in early 2013. His lab carries out molecular dynamics simulations aimed primarily at understanding the composition, construction, and function of the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope.

... Since 1990, she has directed a research program aimed toward understanding protein structure and the molecular mechanisms that regulate molecular interactions and enzymatic activity. Her research program utilizes primarily computer simulation methods and NMR spectroscopy to study the structure and function of proteins and protein complexes associated with signaling, with current efforts being focused on Src and Syk tyrosine kinase.
From page 17...
... She received the National Science Foundation CAREER award, American Chemical Society OpenEye Young Investigator Award, and was named a North Carolina State University Faculty Scholar. Research interests in Professor Yingling's group are focused on the development of soft materials informatics tools, advanced computational models, and algorithms for multi-scale molecular modeling of soft and biological materials, and aim to provide a fundamental understanding of the structure–property relations of a variety of soft materials systems that are formed through the process of self-assembly.

... Consensus Study Reports published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine document the evidence-based consensus on the study's statement of task by an authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the committee's deliberations.
From page 22...
... APPENDIX F ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF REPORT REVIEWER This Consensus Study Report was reviewed in draft form by an individual chosen for his diverse perspective and technical expertise. The purpose of this independent review is to provide candid and critical comments that will assist the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in making each published report as sound as possible and to ensure that it meets the institutional standards for quality, objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the study charge.
