Where does the funding come from to keep SBML development going?
The initial development of SBML from its inception through the year 2003 was principally funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency under the ERATO Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project headed by Hiroaki Kitano. Many agencies and commercial organizations supported smaller parts of overall SBML development as well as workshops and travel expenses. Many more academic organizations supported people who spent considerable time working on SBML and related projects despite that it was not an official aspect of their research. Since 2003, the primary source of stable funding has been the National Institute for General Medical Sciences under grant GM070923 to Michael Hucka (Chair of the SBML Editors). A more detailed list of funding acknowledgments is available on a separate page.
