US$ 10 million grant from NSF to
coordinate digitization of biodiversity
collections in 45 US states
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded
a five-year, US$ 10 million grant to Florida State
University and the University of Florida to coordinate
92 institutions in 45 states working to digitize the
nation’s biological collections.
Called Integrated Digitized Biocollections or iDigBio,
the information in the digitized collections will include
field notes, photographs, 3-D images and information
on associated organisms, geographic distribution,
environmental habitat and specimen DNA samples.
The natural history data will be available to anyone
online.
