VISIONWe envision an era in biological research & education in which cyberinfrastructure serves as a universal integrator. In this new era, individuals from all areas of science and education will have effective access to information from all areas of biology. All individuals desiring to participate will have the opportunity to contribute to the limits of their own abilities and creativity, without artificial limitations imposed by geography, institutional setting, career status, cultural constraints related to sex, ethnicity, or race, physical disability, or any of the other factors that currently form barriers to full participation.
GOALSEnsure that individuals at all levels and in
all settings can acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to use cyberinfrastructure in the biological sciences.
Ensure that information in the biological sciences – including the latest results of cutting-edge research and the most innovative educational resources – is made readily available in usable form through advanced cyberinfrastructure to all who wish to participate.
Ensure that the community possesses the means for readily receiving, broadly distributing, fully recognizing and acknowledging, and reliably preserving the contributions of all who participate in the biological research and education enterprise.
