Project Sentinel has received several requests from organizations interested in collaboration tools supporting VO's across hospitals and medical schools. In connection with Project Sentinel specifications are being developed for a proof of concept project integrating to the NMI Grid project Condor with Shibboleth. The project is being referred to as Condor-Shib and is scheduled to begin in June 2005. Once the project specification phase has been completed, potential sources for funding its development will be determined. Information about Condor and Shibboleth are at
