This grant program aims to enhance and expand the national digital resource of data from existing vouchered biological and paleontological collections across the United States. Its primary purpose is to advance scientific knowledge by improving access to digitized information, including images, associated with various organisms. This rich resource, comprising geographic, environmental, and molecular data, provides a crucial baseline for biodiversity research and helps identify knowledge gaps. Structured as a national resource with a central coordinating organization, thematic networks, and physical collections, this initiative builds upon existing investments. It will become an invaluable tool for scientific research, technology interests, and 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. |
