This grant supports the operation of the Culture Collection of Algae at the University of Texas at Austin. The UTEX culture collection center maintains over 2,000 strains of primarily freshwater algae, and is one of two such centers in the world. The other one is in Germany. The UTEX Center distributes algae in its collection to anyone who requests them at a nominal cost, publishes a catalogue of its holdings, and serves as a general resource center by providing answers to questions about the biology of freshwater algae. Requests for algae come from the U.S. as well as foreign scientists working in diverse areas of biology. Science teachers at colleges and secondary schools also request algae for classroom uses.

这笔拨款支持德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校藻类培养收藏的运作。UTEX培养收集中心保存着2000多种主要是淡水藻类，是世界上两个这样的中心之一。另一个在德国。UTEX中心将其收集的藻类以象征性的价格分发给任何需要它们的人，出版其收藏的目录，并通过提供有关淡水藻类生物学问题的答案作为一般资源中心。对藻类的需求来自美国以及在不同生物学领域工作的外国科学家。大学和中学的科学教师也要求在课堂上使用藻类。
