<div>Dear Knee Grand Challenge Researcher,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You are receiving this message because you have either competed in a Grand Challenge Competition to Predict In Vivo Knee Loads or expressed an interest in using the data sets and/or models for other purposes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am collecting information I need for the Knee Grand Challenge annual progress report for the funding agency (the National Institutes of Health in the United States) and would like to solicit your assistance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As part of the annual progress report, I need to provide a list of publications by our research team and by researchers around the world who are using the Knee Grand Challenge data sets and models in any way.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you could send a list of the information below to me by <b>next Friday, April 25th</b>, that would be a big help:</div>
<div>
<div>a) Journal papers (submitted, in press, or published) that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
<div>b) Conference papers (submitted, in press, or published) that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
<div>c) Book chapters (submitted, in press, or published) that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
<div>d) Invited presentations that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
<div>e) Grant proposals (submitted, funded, and unfunded) that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
</div>
<div>f) Courses (undergraduate or graduate) that used Knee Grand Challenge data or models</div>
<div>The date range should be <b>between January 1, 2013 and the present</b> (I have a good list already for prior to January 1, 2013).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your interest in using the Knee Grand Challenge data sets and/or models. We hope to expand the project in the future, and being able to quantify the impact of the project through publications etc. by research groups around the world will help
build the case for additional funding.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div><br>
