The purpose of the Budapest Open Access Initiative was to accelerate progress in the international effort to make research articles in all academic fields freely available on the internet. The participants represented many points of view, many academic disciplines, and many nations, and had experience with many of the ongoing initiatives that make up the open access movement. In Budapest they explored how the separate initiatives could work together to achieve broader, deeper, and faster success. They explored the most effective and affordable strategies for serving the interests of research, researchers, and the institutions and societies that support research. Finally, they explored how OSI and other foundations could use their resources most productively to aid the transition to open access and to make open-access publishing economically self-sustaining. The result is the Budapest Open Access Initiative. It is at once a statement of principle, a statement of strategy, and a statement of commitment. The initiative has been signed by the Budapest participants and a growing number of individuals and organizations from around the world who represent researchers, universities, laboratories, libraries, foundations, journals, publishers, learned societies, and kindred open-access initiatives. We invite the signatures, support, and participation of the entire world scientific and scholarly community.

The fairly common occurrence of hearing-loss or deafness in both humans and mice, and the anatomical and functional similarities of their inner ears, attest to the potential of mice as models to study hereditary hearing loss. Hundreds of standard inbred, recombinant inbred, and congenic strains are maintained at The Jackson Laboratory, as well as hundreds of inbred strains with spontaneous or induced mutations. To assess hearing impairment in inbred and mutant strains of mice we measure auditory-evoked brainstem response (ABR) thresholds.

ChemNavigator has extended its agreement with NCI to include the development of a new Semi-Custom Synthesis On-line Request System (SCSORS), funded mostly by NCI with additional financial support from the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC). The new SCSORS project will provide the NIH access to the world''s supply of synthetic chemistry available for drug discovery. Once fully formed, SCSORS will provide a strategy for all NIH scientists to circulate requests for specific chemical samples among thousands, if not tens of thousands, of synthetic chemists at suppliers registered in the system. Sample quantities will range from milligram up to kilogram scale requests. Suppliers will be provided tools that allow them to review these requests and make proposals to NIH scientists for the synthesis of substances. It is expected that using the SCSORS strategy will allow the NIH to acquire chemical samples at less than 10% of the internal cost of synthesis while offering access to world wide chemical expertise and diversity. Once fully implemented, SCSORS will become an archive of commercially accessible custom chemistry products for pharmaceutical research. It is expected that this database of commercially accessible substances will grow to over 250 million substances in the coming two years.
