Created in 2012, the NSF-founded USCCN brings together scientists working with collections of living microbes. During its first phase (2012-2020) the network launched initial engagements with the global culture collection community through meetings, webinars, and site visits and produced publications and position papers to support the safe and responsible utilization of microbial resources. Now in its second phase (2022-2027), USCCN is actively working on expanding its scope and reach by building relationships with current and new sources of culture and living collections and by engaging scientists across multiple disciplines to work toward addressing challenges and needs shared by all microbial collection managers and users. In particular, USCCN is currently developing a registry of U.S. microbe collections – an easily accessible and searchable online database of plant associated microbial culture collections of all sizes, from small university-based research collections to large federally funded collections worldwide. The goal of this registry is to facilitate a greater access to collections of all types.
