The NSF/BIO CSBR Program offers this grant to provide vital funding for securing, improving, and organizing biological collections. This grant aims to ensure sustained and efficient accessibility of collections and their data to the biological research community. Support covers enhancements to existing collections, digitizing specimen-related data, and developing better curation methods. Supplemental funding is also available for transferring ownership or consolidating collections. Applicants must demonstrate a clear and urgent need to secure their collection. Supported collections include living stocks, non-living natural history collections, and ancillary materials like preserved tissues and DNA libraries.
