There have been a number of efforts to construct novel repositories for proteomics data and documents over the course of the last decade. This RFA does not seek to duplicate those efforts. Instead, it is a proposal for how to construct standard, navigable FTP sites that can be used for short- and long-term information storage and exchange by participants in the cHPP and other interested parties. | There have been a number of efforts to construct novel repositories for proteomics data and documents over the course of the last decade.
