About the Organization of Biological Field Stations

 

The Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) is an all-volunteer-run, U.S.-based, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization composed of member field stations and marine labs from around the globe.

The mission of OBFS is to help member stations increase their effectiveness in supporting critical research, education, and outreach programs. We pursue this goal in a manner that maximizes diversity, inclusiveness, sustainability, and transparency.

OBFS is governed by its Members and a Board of Directors composed of Member-elected and Board-selected Officers, and Organizational Standing Committee Chairs.
