The iBOL has developed into a true partnership; all participating nations set research priorities and oversee progress. Researchers in member nations benefit from access to specimens, to DNA sequencing services, to informatics platforms, and to training.\r\n\r\nParticipation as a National Node in the iBOL Phase II is open to all nations with the scientific expertise and the funding to substantively contribute to its research goals. The annual membership fee is $5,000 CAD due on June 30 of each year. Membership fees cover expenses linked to the operation of the corporation including meetings of the Board and the SSC.\u00a0New Nodes officially join the iBOL by signing a\u00a0Memorandum of Understanding<\/a> (MOU). Institutions and individuals who affiliate to these National Nodes can then participate in its programs by contributing to the iBOL's activities or become one of the iBOL\u2019s\u00a0Core Facilities.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
NATIONAL NODES<\/span><\/h3>\r\nNational Nodes are networks of researchers and organizations in a country that are engaged in DNA barcoding or in supporting such work as part of iBOL. iBOL is the sum of its Nodes. They are the fundamental units that provide resources and services (e.g. build capacity and set priorities for barcoding in their country\/region).\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nInstitutions or individuals interested in being involved with the\u00a0iBOL start by identifying themselves with (or as) a National Node, effectively committing their interest, knowledge, expertise, money, materials, services or other resources which then count as part of the National Node\u2019s contribution to the iBOL\u2019s overarching goals.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[column width=\"five\" place=\"first\"]\r\n
iBOL CORE FACILITIES<\/span><\/h2>\r\niBOL Core Facilities are laboratories and technology platforms established by the iBOL National Nodes. These core facilities provide the DNA barcoding research community with sequencing and\/or informatics support.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG)<\/a> is the global leader in the field of DNA barcoding, host of the secretariat of the International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL) and Canada's Core Facility. Its unique research capacity reflects the coupling of one of Canada\u2019s largest genomics platforms with a workforce that includes world-class expertise in biodiversity science, DNA sequencing, and informatics.\r\n\r\n[\/column]\r\n\r\n[column width=\"one\"]\r\n
