This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up
the *most frequently*.  The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL
http://www.bio.net/.

If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other
documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail
queries sent to

		       biosci-help@net.bio.net

We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and
mailing lists.  We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet
information searches or answer scientific questions.  Please post
those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.

0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!
------------------------------
BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now
operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our
Web site at http://www.bio.net/.  We need just a few minutes of your
time to help us serve you.

You can do two important things which will take very little time for
you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you.

First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the
archives.  You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as
described in item #1 below.  Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you
contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for
supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if
they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term.

Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides
products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass
this message on to your marketing or marketing communications
department or other appropriate group.  Please ask them to help
support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and
benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are
interested, they can then contact us for further information at our
tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net.


1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.
--------------------------------------------------------
As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are
accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net.
One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings
and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured
properly to send e-mail.  Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS
index.  The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS
Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address
database described in another item further below.


2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups),
mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/.
The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small
number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net).  Unfortunately it
is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out
to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of
newsgroups and mailing lists.  These attempts to grab free advertising
are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net
terminology.  USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many
spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the
mailing lists.  However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses
and hit these too, so neither medium is immune.

What should you do personally if you get junk mail?
---------------------------------------------------
Just delete it and move on without reading it further.  Filing a
protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often
disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from.  Unless you
really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by
sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the
address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing.

What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups?
----------------------------------------------------
The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup.
If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape.
Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the
spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists
completely.  Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the
time to review each message before it goes out.  We have set up
software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an
address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed.
This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass
it on, say about 1 min. per message.

Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible
for their newsgroup.  The discussions leaders and their e-mail
addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is
available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  If a newsgroup is being
hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader
for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group.
Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the
newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your
complaint.  With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has
to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems
directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net.

We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells
us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator
is willing to do the work.  For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this
entails only a few minutes of work each day.

Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings
on the USENET distribution.  Unfortunately there are easy ways for
determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET,
but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if
the newsgroup is moderated.  You can also access our newsgroups over
the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net.  While this Web interface will not
stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you
yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of
your personal mail files.  For those of you with local USENET news
systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new
newsgroups and recent postings.


3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on
subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the
newsgroups and mailing lists.  People who do this only bother everyone
on the lists to no avail.  Please be sure to follow the proper
procedures below.

Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at
http://www.bio.net.  Below we give an example utilizing the
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites:

Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI
------------------------------------------------------------------
node at computer net.bio.net:
----------------------------

A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   for the group.  These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet.  For
   the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is
   methods@net.bio.net.  The listname is the portion of the address to
   the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods".  The listname is used with
   the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below.

B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to
   biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup
   posting addresses!  Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it
   will be ignored.

C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following
   commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g.,

   subscribe methods
   unsubscribe methods
   end

   Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines.  The
   server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address
   on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list.
   Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has
   changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells
   you that you are not a member.


Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk):
-------------------------------------------------

To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to
specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended.
The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet
on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list
the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the
appropriate commands are

    sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

    unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk,
NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses.  As usual, include the text in
the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored.

To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use

    unsub bionet-news

Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one
in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by
this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk.


4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research
interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have
not already done so.

You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL
http://www.bio.net/adrform.html.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is
http://www.bio.net/).  If you are not directly on the Internet but can
reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user
directory.  waismail use is described above.  You can also request a
user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net.

Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your
address information is still up-to-date.  Because of our limited
personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to
revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have
resources to edit old forms.

Hi Dr. Knudson:  Here is information about a new international $25 million
funding program to support study of infectious diseases in the tropical
developing world.  The program is a joint effort of the Wellcome Trust and
the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.  We hope that you will find this material
useful and that you will distribute the Call for Proposals through your
various avenues of communication.  Anyone interested in receiving more
information should contact Dr. Victoria McGovern of the Burroughs Wellcome
Fund; her contact information is listed below.  I've attached the Call for
Proposals as a Word document and copied the text below.  Thanks again for
your help.

Wellcome Trust-Burroughs Wellcome Fund
Infectious Diseases Initiative

Collaborative Grants to Support Research in Infectious Diseases in the
Tropical Developing World

Application Deadline for Preproposals: January 15, 1999


The Wellcome Trust and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund are pleased to announce a
joint initiative to provide grant support for collaborative research in
infectious diseases of the developing world.  The aim of this trilateral
award program is to build new collaborations and to expand existing linkages
among researchers in a tropical developing country with researchers in the
United Kingdom and the United States or Canada.  Targeted infectious
diseases include bacterial, non-HIV viral, and non-malarial parasite
diseases.  Applications may be initiated by a principal investigator from
any location (e.g., developed or developing country), but must include
collaborative links with the two other geographic areas.


Purpose

The infectious diseases of the tropical developing nations pose grave
obstacles to public health and economic development in those regions.  There
is an urgent need for new investments in research and human capital to gain
a better understanding of infectious diseases that hamper much of the world.
Research needs to be conducted in the places where these diseases cause
significant morbidity and mortality; research communities worldwide must
work more collaboratively to understand and combat infectious diseases.

The Wellcome Trust and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund hope to support
international collaborations that have a "center of gravity" in the
developing world, build upon the respective strengths of researchers from
the developing and developed world, and form equal scientific partnerships
to address the urgent challenges of infectious diseases.


Nature of these awards

This program's goal is to sponsor original and innovative collaborative
research addressing health problems in developing countries of the tropics
related to major bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases.  Malaria and HIV,
although of paramount global importance, are not a focus of this program as
the sponsoring organizations recognize that there are other international
programs supporting substantial collaborative work in these diseases.

The Trust and the Fund are interested in strong scientifically driven
proposals that establish or enhance collaborations, promote scientific
training in the developing or developed country, and ask important questions
where the trilateral cooperation leads to a synergy of strengths and helps
catalyse the proposed research.  The anticipated "added value" from the
collaboration must be addressed specifically in the research proposal.  The
research programs of the collaborators may include fieldwork in the
developing world, as well as bench science in laboratories in the developed
or developing country institutions.  Projects that seek to put research into
practice and that address practical problems particularly are encouraged.

Overall research themes for the program are open, and proposals ranging from
basic studies of the mechanism of disease to studies in public health to
epidemiology, diagnostics, therapeutics, or vaccine development are
appropriate for this award.  It is expected that traineeships will be
included in the awards.

Examples of proposed research programs might appropriately include such
areas as:

*	research into disease pathogenesis, including virulence, strain
differences, and genomic variation;

*	development of new surveillance and detection methodologies for
antibiotic resistance, emerging, and re-emerging diseases;

*	epidemiological studies on the burden of disease, reservoirs,
transmission routes, and environmental efforts;

*	development (but not clinical trials) of therapeutics and vaccines,
or rapid and easy-to-use diagnostics either to optimize the delivery of
existing agents or prepare for field testing of new agents;

*	ways to better link health policy to practice.

It is expected that the work proposed will build on a strong base of
existing research and will use the support provided to move into
fundamentally new research directions, significantly expand current work, or
facilitate transfer of new technologies for application to diseases
affecting the developing world.

While training fellowships are included in the award, proposals should focus
on addressing scientific questions, not solely on human capacity building.
Training positions to be filled by undesignated trainees are acceptable.
For training of fellows from developing countries, significant portions of
the research should take place in the developing country.


Institutional partners

Each application may involve any number of co-applicants, but applications
must include at least one partner from the United Kingdom, at least one
partner from the United States or Canada, and at least one partner from a
developing tropical nation.  Researchers whose primary affiliation is with a
Wellcome Trust Unit, or with a U.S., Canadian, or U.K. government research
unit in a developing country, may not apply directly, but may play a role as
a collaborative partner.  Applications may be strengthened by interactions
with collaborative partners (e.g., government research institutes or public
health departments), which could provide access to disease surveillance
data, public health information, access to training, or serve as field
sites.  It is also allowable for researchers with primary academic
affiliations elsewhere to arrange to carry out work at a governmental or
Wellcome Trust research unit.


Further details of procedures

These awards will be made available for 1998-99 through a two-stage
competitive process to be launched in autumn 1998.  It is expected that
awards will be in the order of $2 million to $4 million (U.S. currency),
payable over five years.  Funds may be available through this programme to
support substantial but smaller-scale trilateral work.  Planning grants will
not be available.  There will be a second round of competition in 1999-2000.

In the first stage, initial proposals should be addressed to Sean Hussain of
the Wellcome Trust (at the address below), briefly outlining the work
proposed, including a summary budget.  Budget items may include salaries,
equipment, supplies, travel, communications between sites, and improvement
of facilities in developing nations.  Initial proposals should describe
existing links and resources that might contribute to ensuring a successful
collaboration.

They must be limited to no more than three to five pages and should include
the following elements:

*	background;

*	statement of the scientific question(s) to be addressed;

*	rationale for the science proposed and contributions of partners;

*	description of any planned training activities;

*	plans for conducting ancillary activities (if any) that enhance the
core activities;

*	budget summary showing the major allocations among the partner
investigators;

*	abbreviated biographies of principal collaborators should be
included as attachments to the preproposal.

The deadline for submitting an initial proposal is January 15, 1999.
Following external evaluation of the initial proposals, a limited number of
applicants will be invited to submit full applications.  These will have to
be received by April 1, 1999.

The applications will be subject to peer review and funding decisions taken
by an outside scientific advisory committee.  Factors to be taken into
consideration will include:

*	the scientific merit of the research proposal;

*	the scope for enhancing collaboration among investigators in the
developed and developing world;

*	the research training opportunities provided for young scientists in
the developing and developed country laboratories;

*	the experience of the co-investigators in international
collaborations.

Grant support will be provided for individuals in each of the partner
institutions as appropriate.  This award is meant to have its "center of
gravity" in the developing world.  Budgeted expenses should reflect this.

The awards will usually be made to one institution on behalf of all
co-investigators and may be disbursed from there as budgeted.  The awarded
institution will be responsible for maintaining adequate supporting records
and receipts of expenditures and for yearly financial reports for the entire
award, including monies spent by other institutions.  All appropriate
project-dedicated research costs will be provided, but indirect costs cannot
be charged against the awards.

Awardees may obtain funds from other sources for research in similar
scientific areas as that conducted under these awards, so long as there is
no conflict with meeting the terms of this award and the research funded
under this award significantly expands knowledge of the issues being
studied.

Scientific publications or presentations that result from these awards
