Roles may include membership of the node steering committee or equivalent) NAME INSTITUTION E-MAIL 3 EXPERTISE / POSITION 7: FUNDING Plan for the iBOL Node (Infrastructure projects) In order to track commitments to the Project on a global basis, it is necessary to record and verify all iBOL-related funding received by each node. Recording: Please list awards that are specifically directed to funding of the iBOL Node organization. Funding for individual DNA barcoding projects can be listed in Section 9). Verification: For each source of funding, please provide a copy of the proposal (including budget), and the Notice of Award letter from the funding agency concerned Funding Source Receiving Institution / Principal Investigator Purpose 4 TOTAL Timeframe Funding Amount (From – To) Confirmed or anticipated? 8: CORE FACILITIES Plan for the iBOL Node Provide (i) Description of facilities available, and (ii) planned specimen capacity (2010-2015) Institution Specimen collection Informatics / database Sequencing 5 Curation Other 9: LIST OF KNOWN BARCODING PROJECTS AND ASSOCIATED RESEARCHERS IN COUNTRY / REGION In order to track DNA-barcoding efforts on a global basis, it is necessary to record and, where possible, verify all iBOL-related funding received by individual projects and institutions. Recording: In this section, please provide information about individual DNA barcoding projects and participants in your country. Direct funding of the iBOL Node itself should be listed in Section 7, above.
