Product categories

• Category 1 products are also considered ‘premium products’. Dedicated funds have been set aside to help advance, complete and promote all Category 1 products, particularly genetic resources, since they hold potential for the greatest impacts.
• Category 2 products comprise the majority of products and are expected to enjoy greater use, albeit relatively more limited impact. They will receive general promotion upon release, via normal web-based media, as well as targeted promotion to those most likely to be interested.
• Category 3 products are of limited impact and uncertain use but may be of interest to the casual browser.
