Fact Sheets for NBII Nodes & Projects
Nodes are interconnected access points to data and information on the NBII network. Multiple partners contribute data, information, expertise, and infrastructure towards the development of each node. Regional nodes have a geographic orientation, and represent a regional and local approach to data issues and needs. Thematic nodes focus on a particular biological discipline or issue, and provide the support and infrastructure to address these issues at multiple geographic scales.
Projects, while not Congressionally-designated NBII nodes, represent important sub-regions or emerging issues that require an early and sustained focus to build the partnerships and infrastructure necessary for sharing and accessing data and information by stakeholders.
