Dear Colleague:

You may be aware that our former sponsor, Insmed, settled a patent infringement dispute and no longer promotes IGF-I/IGFBP-3 to patients with severe primary IGF-I deficiency or other short stature indications. Therefore, they no longer provide an educational grant to the GGH journal. Consequently, Pediatric Sunshine Academics, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is funding the cost of this issue of GGH without prior anticipation or alternative funding sources available. However, I am committed to seek new grants that will allow us to continue publishing this journal. I am grateful to the editorial board for their strong support; they have all pledged to contribute with their usual efforts and expertise while we seek more stable times. Since its inception 23 years ago, GGH has improved and expanded; it is held in high regard and enjoys over 11 000 subscribers. We all feel obliged not to let you down.

In order to forge ahead GGH will need the support of its readers while we elicit educational grants. You can help us during this transition by contributing to Pediatric Sunshine Academics, Inc. an organization whose mission is to support research and education in pediatric endocrinology and nutrition. Your fully tax deductible donation to Pediatric Sunshine Academics, Inc., 1040 Alston Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93108, either by check or online at www.PedSacademics.org will be used entirely for the continued publication of GGH. Pediatric Sunshine Academics, Inc.’s federal EIN is 65-0854085. On behalf of the editorial board, I thank you in advance for your donations and support. I will keep you apprised of our quest to elicit new grants and sponsorships for the continuation of the publication of GGH.
