Biodata resources and the critical ecosystem they form are at risk. As these data continue to grow, we must ensure they are sustained and remain open into the future through effective, long-term financial support.

The GBC convenes the world’s research funders to exchange knowledge and share strategies for supporting biodata resources, and provides a discussion forum for the managers of data resources, with the aim of developing principles and models for the coordinated funding of global core biodata resources.
