Revision as of 17:37, 16 January 2014


These resources are an at-a-glance introduction to existing Thematic Collection Networks (TCNs), including a volunteer contact and their email for each project, and some rudimentary information about the organisms in their proposal. This information hopes to be an aid to anyone writing a proposal, or who has recently received funding and is looking for tips and advice.

ADBC Annual Report Info Sheet

Guidelines for Annual Reporting Requirements for Lead Proposal PIs and Collaborative Proposal PIs at iDigBio, TCN and PEN locations. ADBC Annual Report Info Sheet

TCN Lightening Round Progress Reports at Summit 3, November 2013

Each TCN gave a succinct digitization progress report: https://www.idigbio.org/content/idigbio-summit-iii-0

Data Ingestion Dashboard

This is a project management report of data ingested for use by the data ingestion team. Included are data provider, how many datasets, the number of data records and media records. Additional tentative info about immediate next datasets in the queue is also included: Data Ingestion Dashboard

TCNs at a Glance

Below is a table of TCN project information. RDCNs are added below for completeness since they work closely with thematic networks.

Note: the number of anticipated specimens and images to be digitized is approximate.
