## Abstract

Stakeholder Engagement and Program Promotion Core Project Summary
The Stakeholder Engagement and Program Promotion Core (SEPPC) of the Metabolomics Consortium
Coordinating Center (M3C) has goals in promotion and outreach: Promotion goals are: 1) Establish M3C
brand identity, including core values, visual elements, and positioning (value proposition, unique
attributes); 2) Generate publicity and increase awareness about M3C activities and scientific pursuits; 3)
Build and expand the metabolomics community; and 4) Transition from “push” to “pull” communications.
Outreach goals are: 1) Foster scientific partnerships; 2) Disseminate knowledge to the broad scientific
community; 3) Increase user access to M3C resources across the research continuum; and 4) Seek
crucial insight about the needs of stakeholders for consortium outputs. These goals are in service to the
eight research objectives of the M3C. SEPPC provides an open door for all stakeholders, engaging them
as needed to promote the overall goal of the consortium, to advance the use of metabolomics in
biomedical and translational research. SEPPC will promote the work of the consortium at scientific
meetings, through the M3C web portal, and in the collaborative activities of the consortium. SEPPC will
administer a Pilot and Feasibility program to make targeted awards to biomedical researchers who are
new to metabolomics. These awards will generate data to be deposited in the National Metabolomics
Data Repository. Publications and external funding resulting from these awards will be highlighted on the
M3C portal, and in news stories, and social media. SEPPC will administer bi-annual stakeholder symposia
to address roadblocks and other issues related to metabolomics uptake in biomedical and translational
science. Each symposium will invite experts from a particular stakeholder community, such as journal
editors, to present and share regarding issues, and to discuss those issues with other experts, leading to
potential approaches to resolution or improvement. Results of symposia may take the form of talking
points, best practices, letters to editors, journal articles, guidelines, or other forms. SEPPC will promote
the use of best practices, standards, and guidelines throughout the consortium. SEPCC will also
encourage collaboration among members of the consortium and between consortium members and the
greater metabolomics community.
