The Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas houses an internationally important ethanol research collection of catalogued specimens of fossil and recent vertebrates. This valuable research resource is used by many researchers of systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary biology for their own research as well as for training students in these fields. The current facility is not only out dated but the space is inadequate and in violation of fire codes. This award will allow for a replacement facility which will enable a modern systematic biological research collection to be a computerized information acquisition, storage, and retrieval system as well as serve the general functions of a research resource. This replacement facility will allow for better research and training of students concerned with issues related to biodiversity and ecology.

堪萨斯大学自然历史博物馆收藏了国际重要的乙醇研究藏品，其中包括化石和现代脊椎动物的编目标本。 这一宝贵的研究资源被系统学、生物地理学和进化生物学的许多研究人员用于自己的研究以及培训这些领域的学生。 目前的设施不仅陈旧，而且空间不足且违反消防法规。 该奖项将允许建造一个替代设施，使现代系统生物学研究收藏成为计算机化的信息获取、存储和检索系统，并服务于研究资源的一般功能。 该替代设施将有助于更好地研究和培训关注生物多样性和生态学相关问题的学生。
