The AIBS project on "Infrastructure for Biology at Regional to Continental Scales" (IBRCS) has the following goals: (1) educate the scientific community about the need to increase physical infrastructure capacity for data collection, analysis, and database networking within and among field biology, other areas of biology, and other areas of science; (2) provide for communications within the scientific community and with the National Science Foundation regarding the future development and focus of relevant infrastructure and data-networking projects, and (3) serve as a public information source on these projects. The scientific community will thereby become better able to determine the benefits and utility of particular existing or proposed infrastructure and data-networking projects to their areas of research. The AIBS IBRCS project will be led by a Working Group consisting of biologists from the AIBS membership of scientific societies and organizations, plus technical advisors from other areas of science. AIBS and the Working Group will:- Summarize and evaluate past workshops on relevant infrastructure and data-networking projects, and maintain a rolling summary of future workshops and related activities.- Conduct collaborative and consensus-generating activities, including Working Group meetings, joint-sessions at the annual AIBS Council meeting, workshops, presentation and discussion sessions at scientific conferences, and coalition meetings with other scientific organizations. The goal is to involve many kinds of biologists and other scientists in thinking about and working together on scientific activities, questions, and applications that can be better addressed with enhanced infrastructure and data-networking capacities. - Make the biological community aware of relevant infrastructure and data-networking activities in other scientific/technical communities such as geology, chemistry, toxicology, hydrology, remote sensing/GIS, engineering, nanotechnology, bio-sensors, mathematics, computer science, and data management/IT.- Serve as a key source of information about relevant infrastructure and data-networking projects for the scientific community, the public policy community, the media, and the general public. Included will be printed materials (brochures and reports), articles in the AIBS publication, BioScience, and a new website covering past activities (e.g., past workshop summaries and evaluations, etc.), present activities (e.g., current workshops and other meetings, reports, program announcements, lists of existing networks, a matching service for scientists seeking to partner with other PIs to develop funding proposals), and future activities (e.g., upcoming workshops and other meetings, etc.).

AIBS关于“从地区到大陆尺度的生物学基础设施”(IBRCS)项目有以下目标：(1)教育科学界需要提高实地生物学、其他生物学领域和其他科学领域内和之间的数据收集、分析和数据库联网的实体基础设施能力；(2)在科学界内部和与国家科学基金会就相关基础设施和数据联网项目的未来发展和重点进行交流；以及(3)作为关于这些项目的公共信息来源。因此，科学界将能够更好地确定特定的现有或拟议的基础设施和数据联网项目对其研究领域的惠益和效用。AIBS IBRCS项目将由一个工作组领导，该工作组由来自AIBS科学学会和组织成员的生物学家以及来自其他科学领域的技术顾问组成。AIBS和工作组将：-总结和评估过去关于相关基础设施和数据网络项目的研讨会，并对未来的研讨会和相关活动保持滚动摘要。-开展协作和产生共识的活动，包括工作组会议、AIBS理事会年度会议的联席会议、研讨会、科学会议上的陈述和讨论会议，以及与其他科学组织的联盟会议。目标是让各种生物学家和其他科学家参与思考科学活动、问题和应用，并共同努力，这些活动、问题和应用可以通过增强的基础设施和数据网络能力更好地解决。-使生物界了解其他科学/技术界的相关基础设施和数据联网活动，如地质学、化学、毒理学、水文学、遥感/地理信息系统、工程学、纳米技术、生物传感器、数学、计算机科学和数据管理/信息技术。-为科学界、公共政策界、媒体和公众提供有关基础设施和数据联网项目的主要信息来源。将包括印刷材料(小册子和报告)，AIBS出版物上的文章，生物科学，以及一个涵盖过去活动的新网站(例如，过去的研讨会总结和评估等)，目前的活动(例如，当前的研讨会和其他会议，报告，计划公告，现有网络的清单，为寻求与其他私人投资机构合作制定资助提案的科学家提供的匹配服务)，以及未来的活动(例如，即将举行的研讨会和其他会议等)。
