If you have not visited recently, please take a few moments now to explore the site and create a user profile. A core goal of the project is expanding and strengthening the biocollections community. The website is one mechanism for increasing communication,
networking, and the exchange of innovative ideas. We will also use the site as a tool to increase community involvement in working groups and to gather information to inform reports and other products developed by NIBA. Information will routinely be added
to the site, so please check back frequently.<br>
<br>
The NIBA Advisory Council is currently requesting input to inform the planning and priorities of the NIBA project.<br>
<br>
The NIBA is an outgrowth of prior community efforts that led to the development of a Strategic Plan and an Implementation Plan for a Network Integrated Biocollections Alliance. The goals set forth in the Implementation Plan are:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
