OpenTreeRoadmap

Open Tree of Life has been supported NSF awards under the AVAToL solicitation. Current funding ends on May, 2017, though two of the organizations (Duke Univ., and the Univ. Kansas) will request no-cost extensions to continue work on the project after that date. Karen Cranston, Emily Jane McTavish and Mark Holder are submitting a proposal to NSF's ABI Development solicitation in September, 2016 to extend the project. A link to that proposal will be posted here when the proposal is completed. Because of the uncertainty associated with the long-term funding status of the project, we have developed two "roadmaps" for the project. The short-term roadmap covers the remainder of the funding period, and the long-term roadmap describes work that will take place after the current funding ends.
