Today’s Presentation Overview of the GRIN-Global (GG) project Demonstration of the Public Website Discussion
The Need for GRIN-Global Many national genebanks lack effective information technology for documenting & managing collections electronically
Why Switch From GRIN? Genebanks interested in adopting GRIN were challenged by software licensing fees
GRIN…GRIN-Global In 2008, the Global Crop Diversity Trust awarded ARS a 3-year, $1.4 million grant to address global germplasm information management needs
GRIN…GRIN-Global USDA/ARS is devoting more than $1 million of in-kind support to the project Bioversity International will support the deployment of GRIN-Global internationally
GRIN-Global Project Mission Create… a new, scalable version of GRIN …powerful, flexible, easy-to-use PGR information management system an effective global network of genebanks Encourage… the use of PGR resources by researchers, breeders, and farmers (producers)
