The team has also submitted a second proposal, for the Opportunity alone, which is in much better shape as it heads to the large Endeavour Crater.
Though broad consent for the secondary use of previously-collected data can still be a large endeavour, parents feel it would be a minimum requirement for maintaining trust in research and secondary use.
"The move is part of a larger endeavour to restore investor confidence by a government facing general assembly elections in 2014.
"The key challenge is that the final interstellar system is affordable – by that we mean its final cost is comparable to other large scientific endeavours such as the Cern accelerator".
This is epitomised by projects including the German Mouse Clinic, the European Mouse Disease Clinic EUMODICC) and the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium IMPCC) (Fuchs et al., 2011; Gates et al., 2011), which are examples of large international endeavours aimed at high-throughput phenotyping of mouse mutants.
With the cost of whole genome sequencing technologies falling rapidly, it is anticipated that whole genome sequences will no longer be the result of large scientific endeavours such as the Human Genome Project, but will be routinely used in GWAS and other studies.
A large, collaborative endeavour, if successful it could have huge ramifications for transplant patients.
For this large scale endeavour, the engagement and cooperation of the multiple stakeholders in STM publishing - authors, librarians, publishers and administrators - is sought.
Simultaneous extraction and purification of three metals makes this method ideal for high-resolution, large-scale endeavours such as the GEOTRACES program.
In addition, classical problems such as assembly are becoming feasible for large-scale endeavours, such as the Genome 10K project which seeks to assemble the genomes of 10 000 novel species (Genome 10K Community of Scientists, 2009).
That there's an established audience for what is often depicted as the waste run-off of a larger cultural endeavour?
