Rubicon Announcement

Gene_Hobbs · 6th October 2007, 01:09

We are pleased to announce that the Rubicon Foundation, Inc. has passed the five (5) year advanced ruling period and are now officially recognized as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the United States tax code.

Over that last few months we have seen other milestones of note:
* DAN published an announcement about the Rubicon Research Repository (RRR) in their Alert Diver Magazine
* The US Naval Operational Medical Lessons Learned Center included an announcement in their newsletter to fleet medical personnel.
* The US Office of Naval Research included funding for years 2008, 2009, and 2010 to support the further growth of the RRR.
* The South Pacific Undersea Medicine Society started transferring their journal for inclusion in the RRR. This journal currently covers 30 years. More on this soon.
* The Royal Australian Navy has scanned their research technical reports and placed them in transit for inclusion in the RRR.
* We placed our tee shirts, coffee mugs, and mouse pads for sale online in our first real fund raising effort.

Some of our previous milestones include:

The following collections for UHMS:
* the Undersea Baromedical Research (1974 to 1992);
* the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (1993 to present);
* UHMS Workshops with support from DAN;
* Underwater Medicine and Related Sciences supported by UHMS;
* Hyperbaric Oxygen Review (1980 to 1985); and
* Journal of Hyperbaric Medicine (1986 to 1992).

Other collections:
* American Academy of Underwater Sciences workshops and meeting proceedings (1986 to 1992);
* Professional Association of Diving Instructors/ Diving Science And Technology Corp (PADI/ DSAT) symposia and technical reports;
* DAN’s series of Report on Decompression Illness, Diving Fatalities, and Project Dive Exploration reports (1988-2007);
* Numerous Technical reports from groups such as the Defence R&D Canada, US Navy Experimental Diving Unit, US Naval Medical Research Center, Naval Submarine Medical Research Lab, US Office of Naval Research, and US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine.

While the efforts listed above are related to archiving literature, we will be starting a new project next week with the goal of keeping us all up to date. For more information about The Rubicon Review, please check out this page.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Excellent news Gene!

Rubicon has been a shining example of what can be done with proper indexing of data and should be a must read for any diver, but especially those in the technical community.
