This grant, offered by the National Biodiversity Collections Program, aims to significantly enhance and expand the national digital resource of existing biological and paleontological collections across the United States. Its purpose is to advance scientific knowledge by improving access to crucial digitized information, including images and associated data such as geographic distribution and environmental habitat. This rich resource forms a vital baseline for biodiversity research, identifying knowledge gaps and contributing significantly to scientific research and technology interests. Building upon a national investment in collection curation, this initiative will become an invaluable tool for understanding contemporary biological issues and challenges.

| Description: | This program seeks to enhance and expand the national resource of digital data documenting existing vouchered biological and paleontological collections and to advance scientific knowledge by improving access to digitized information (including images) residing in vouchered scientific collections across the United States. The information associated with various collections of organisms, such as geographic, paleogeographic and stratigraphic??distribution, environmental habitat data, phenology, information about associated organisms, collector field notes, and??tissues and molecular data extracted from the specimens, is a rich resource providing the baseline from which to further biodiversity research and provide critical information about existing gaps in our knowledge of life on earth. The national resource is structured at three levels: a central coordinating organization, a series of thematic networks based on an important research theme, and the physical collections. The national resource builds upon a sizable existing national investment in curation of the physical objects in scientific collections and contributes vitally to scientific research and technology interests in the United States. It will become an invaluable tool in understanding contemporary biological issues and challenges. |
