## Abstract

X. Dissemination - Abstract
Our Dissemination activities (Section X) complement our Training activities described in Section IX. During
the past funding term, the MMBioS Dissemination Core has been successful in launching a widely viewed
website, in addition to creating 53 (YouTube) videos on our workshops, making accessible software that have
seen an steep increase in demand, and organizing or contributing to several meetings. We will continue
propagating the ongoing research and technology developments through publications and outreach activities
along standard dissemination channels, including publishing in scientific journals, books, and other media,
presenting results at national conferences and workshops, hosting and delivering seminars in academia and
industry, and showcasing our technology and science to a wide audience via presentations, news articles, and
multimedia demos during meetings, open-houses, and other venues.
In addition to those existing/continuing efforts, we will pursue two specific aims. The first will be to develop the
MMBioS web portal into a high-performance computing (HPC) gateway and community hub for MMBioS
resources. The portal will greatly lower barriers to entry for first-time users to gain experience with MMBioS
technology by serving as a “one-stop shop” with a fully established back-end computing environment. Building
this platform will require further upgrading, integrating, and consolidating the interfaces that provide access to
our software. This aim will enable seamless usage of our resources by the broad community through a
gateway within the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's unique Bridges HPC System. We will also develop
additional efforts to re-connect existing and prior users of MMBioS software and training resources with an
expanded social media presence and networking opportunities that would open doors to new collaborations.
Our second aim will be to expand and refine our online tutorials into a full-fledged online course for Multiscale
Modeling of Biological Systems (MMBS). This course will synergistically link the TR&D projects together by
leveraging the research strengths of MMBioS; it will unify many of MMBioS's existing efforts in introductory
software modules and tutorials with a target audience that will range from new comers to the field to hands-on
users, and even dedicated researchers who may eventually be future leaders in the field.
