Support for Harvard University Herbaria Service Activities

9631192 Donoghue，等。哈佛大学和系统学与生态学研究收藏计划合作资助了这个项目，以支持哈佛大学植物标本馆为植物系统学界提供的服务。哈佛大学拥有近500万种植物和真菌标本，以及它的图书馆和数据库，构成了系统和生态研究不可或缺的资源，并被国内和国际植物学界积极使用。哈佛植物标本馆的工作人员每年要处理大约62000件标本，这些标本被借出或归还给其他机构，平均每年有500名科学家参观植物标本馆。两名策展助理将直接参与贷款和访客计划，将在该奖项的任期内被雇用，该奖项还补贴包装材料的成本和运输贷款的邮费。将购置显微镜和电脑设备，改善参观设施。哈佛大学将继续承担植物标本馆的大部分基本运营预算，而美国国家科学基金会和哈佛指定基金将支持这些藏品的特殊服务活动。

9631192 Donoghue, et al. In partnership, Harvard University and the Research Collections in Systematics & Ecology Program have funded this project to support the services provided to the plant systematics community by the Harvard University Herbaria. Harvard's holdings of nearly 5,000,000 specimens of plants and fungi, along with its libraries and databases, form an indispensable resource for systematic and ecological studies and are actively used by the national and international botanical community. Approximately 62,000 specimens are handled by the Harvard Herbaria staff each year in outgoing and returning loans to other institutions, and an average of 500 scientist visit the Herbaria annually. Two Curatioral Assistants, who will be directly involved in the loan and visitor programs, will be hired during the tenure of this award, which also subsidizes the cost of packing materials and postal charges for shipping loans. Visitor facilities will be improved with the purchase of microscope and computer equipment. Harvard University will continue to proved most of the basic operating budget of the Herbaria while the NSF and earmarked Harvard funds support the exceptional service activities of these collections.
