Projects Happening Now
The Portal currently has lots of exciting things happening behind the scenes that will improve your over-all experience in the near future. Some of these projects include:

  • Website Redesign- Our redesign project is coming along nicely and you can expect a fresh new look from the Portal in early Fall.
  • Software Updates- Our software was due for an upgrade and when complete, it will allow us to release content and resolve errors more quickly. This is also expected to be complete in the Fall.
  • Indexing Content- This project will make the Portal content searchable on resources like NCBI Bookshelf.
  • Editorial Board- We are adding an editorial board to our current authoring processes.
