GBIF invites current GBIF participants<\/a> (both voting and associate) to submit concept notes for project funding through the Capacity Enhancement Support Programme<\/a> (CESP), which enables collaboration between GBIF participants to address identified needs at regional and global levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Deadline<\/strong> for submitting concept notes through the GBIF Grants Portal: 1 February 2022, 23:59 CET (UTC +1)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This call aligns with the GBIF Capacity Enhancement Framework<\/a> and focuses on enhancing the long-term capacity of participants<\/strong> to benefit from and contribute to GBIF\u2019s mission of providing free and open access to biodiversity data. GBIF encourages all participants to complete capacity self-assessments<\/a> to help identify capacity strengths and needs. Project proposals must target specific capacity needs identified by the participants themselves and be aligned with one or more of the tasks in the “GBIF Implementation Plan 2017-2022 and Annual Work Programme 2022<\/a>” (please refer to the \u201cOverview of 2022 Work Items<\/a>\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Particular priority will be given to proposals that support one or more of the work items under Activity 3a in the 2022 Work Programme (\u201cIdentify priority gaps\u201d)<\/a>, in particular those that generate documentation for nodes and data publishers on prioritizing data mobilization based on data gap analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Project proposals must be based on one or more<\/strong> of the following three types of action eligible for support:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mentoring activities<\/strong>: Interactions among two or more GBIF participants where the core objective is the transfer of information, technology, experience and best practices in small groups.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Support for regional events and training workshops<\/strong>: Courses and workshops with a regional (multi-national) component to enhance the capacity of individuals or networks to contribute to and benefit from GBIF.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Documentation<\/strong> : Production of key learning and promotional resources or their adaptation to the national or regional context (e.g. by translation or including local\/regional perspectives). The GBIF Secretariat advocates digital-first documentation<\/a> to provide technical guidance and support training and skills development across GBIF\u2019s communities of practice. The key features of this system include standardized documentation, routine updates, versioning, translations, community input, peer review, and searchable format.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The maximum funding request is \u20ac20,000 per project<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
