How to Join the EBP

The Earth BioGenome Project: Affiliated Project Application

The EBP’s principal activity is to coordinate a globally distributed group of affiliated projects to sequence, catalog, and characterize the genomes of all Earth’s eukaryotic biodiversity over approximately 10 years. EBP has a global hub-and-spokes model with the EBP as the hub for coordinating and assisting work done by its members. 

Applications to become an EBP Affiliated Project must include 1) a letter of interest with a description of your project, 2) a list of participating institutions, 3) a list of participating investigators,  4) the name and contact information for the project’s data coordinator, and  5) this signature page, available for download here. Please send the required items to Nicolette Caperello at the EBP Secretariat Office Nicolette.Caperello@asu.edu. 

The chairperson of this project or its designate will be a voting member of the EBP Membership Council as described in the EBP Governance Document. By signing this form, the representative and all members of this project agree to uphold and abide by the principles, guidelines and policies set forth in the EBP Governance document.
