The National Park Service is offering this grant to Clemson University, awarded non-competitively through a Cooperative Agreement, for the development of a new web-enabled biodiversity database system. This grant is for creating a robust system that retains the biological data functionality of the previous ATBI database while significantly enhancing its front-end. Key objectives include adapting the existing Access database structure into MS SQL, which will also be the primary technology for front-end development. Furthermore, the new system will integrate with ArcGIS for comprehensive GIS capabilities and be web-enabled to allow off-site users to efficiently enter and edit data. This initiative aims to modernize data management for biodiversity.

| Description: | This is a notice of intent and non-competitive award in accordance with Department of Interior Policy, Departmental Manual 505DM2. This action will result in a task agreement award to Clemson University through a Cooperative Agreement under the Piedmont-South Atlantic Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. This project is to develop a new database system that has the following capabilities: 1) has essentially the same biological data functionality of the old ATBI database, but with front end improvements, 2) adapts the recently received Access structure for the new Biodiversity database (see schema) into MS SQL; SQL is also primarily used for the development of the Front End, 3) is integrated with ArcGIS for full GIS capability, 4) is web-enabled, so off-site users can enter and edit data. Please refer to the attached Full Announcement for more information. |
