Funding and support for the BIEN network

BIEN is made possible by the support of funding agencies, host institutions, and data contributors.

The Botanical Information and Ecology Network thanks the more than 500 institutions and individual researchers who have shared their data directly with BIEN or made it publicly available through scientific literature or via the internet.

We also thank Cyverse, The National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and Analysis, the National Science Foundation and Conservation International via the SPARC initiative for funding, encouragement, and logistical support.
