VEuPathDB conducted a survey at the end of 2024 to assess the importance of our resources and to explore potential funding strategies following funding changes. We got 1,862 responses! Huge thanks to everyone who took this survey! We will share the results and survey report this week.
The image shows some descriptive characteristics of the 1,862 respondents of the VEuPathDB user impact and sustainability survey. 90% were from academic institutions; 35% were principal investigators/ lab heads while 50% were students/postdocs; respondents were from 81 countries and 80% were frequent users (daily/weekly use) of VEuPathDB resources.

People often ask about this and worth reiterating: there are individual PI's labs that cost more than bioRxiv, which serves the whole world. We are working towards a long-term, stable, distributed funding strategy. It's trival $$. Reminder: Research $10^5 journal paper $10^3, preprint $10^1.
