As an unfunded initiative, the Pollinators Project provides in-kind support to the Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network (IABIN) Pollinators Thematic Network (PTN) by hosting and maintaining the IABIN PTN Web site and providing technology design, data management, and quality review support in the development of an online Pollinator Experts Database; DarwinCore Extensions for Pollinator Data Exchange; and a Data Digitization and Standardization tool. The USGS Biolgoical Informatics Program also provides infrastructure and design support in the development of the IABIN Metadata Catalog and search technology for the overall network.

The PTN is one of several thematic networks that form IABIN - other networks include Species and Specimens, Invasive Species, Ecosystems, and Protected Areas. IABIN is "a forum to foster technical collaboration and coordination among countries of the Americas in collection, sharing, and use of biodiversity information relevant to decision-making on natural resources management and conservation, and education to promote sustainable development in the region."

The PTN was initiated in May 2006 and is coordinated by a consortium lead by the Pollinator Partnership (P2) (the D.B.A. for the 501(c)(3) non-profit Coevolution Institute). The goal of the IABIN PTN is "to develop a network of linked and integrated databases among major data sources and IABIN members that share critical content through a common set of data standards and exchange protocols." IABIN PTN will do this by producing an online catalog of pollinators in the western hemisphere, which will include information on names and checklists of bees, hummingbirds, bats, and other important pollinating species; specimens in major collections; pollinator experts; pollinator-plant associations; literature on pollinators; and other data as available (for example geographic, genetic barcode, etc.). Tools will be made available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French translations. In addition to the Coevolution Institute, other consortium members include the University of Sao Paulo, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), and the USGS Biological Informatics Program.
