Description
1) Objective
GBIF invites proposals to develop high-throughput publishing workflows that facilitate the sharing and regular update of DNA-derived biodiversity data through the GBIF network. Applications from organizations that manage large DNA-derived biodiversity datasets are welcome, with funding of up to €20,000 available to successful applicants.
SPLICE aims to extend the GBIF infrastructure to support eDNA as a fit-for-use, interoperable and openly reusable data type for research, monitoring and policy. The project delivers services and scalable pipelines that integrate sequence-based biodiversity observations into the GBIF network, enabling sequence-based discovery, continuous taxonomic interpretation and improved data quality over time as reference resources evolve. By developing interoperable molecular units, supporting FAIR-aligned data practices and streamlining data publication from major repositories, the project lowers barriers to reuse and increases the policy relevance of eDNA data.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are legal entities (for example: research institution, university, museum, NGO or private company)
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The maximum funding available is €20,000 per project.
5) Application
Proposals must be submitted in English online by 03 August 2026, 17:00 CEST (UTC+2).
