The Need for a Specimen Management Plan Requirement</span></strong></div>
<br>
Please join representatives from the Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN) and the U.S. Culture Collection Network (USCCN) for a joint webinar discussion on the need for a Specimen Management Plan requirement in research proposals that generate living or
preserved specimens. Recommended by the National Academies’ report on biological collections in 2020, this requirement is now supported by the recently enacted CHIPS and Science Act. Join us for a discussion about the elements of a specimen management plan
and its benefits to various stakeholder communities.<br>
<br>
<strong>Location: </strong>Online via Zoom (The program will be recorded)<br>
<strong>Date: </strong>Tuesday, February 7, 2023<br>
<strong>Time: </strong>2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET<br>
