This award renews partial support for a collection of protozoa and photosynthetic protists at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The collection totals 1840 strains of protista representing 506 species and 214 genera. Of these, roughly 170 strains are photosynthetic (algae). Of the 1660 strains of protoza, 70% are free-living, and the remainder parasitic. The number of genera represented in the collection has increased by over 30% since 1994. Of 315 strains accessioned since July 1994, 219 were acquired with NSF support. NSF support is provided to support acquisition and distribution of strains that are not of biomedical interest. A majority of the genera, both protozoan and algal, are not represented in any other public collection. Samples of the collection are available at a modest fee.

该奖项再次部分支持了美国类型文化收藏（ATCC）的原生动物和光合原生生物收藏。共收集原生生物1840株，属506种，214属。其中，大约有170种是光合作用（藻类）。在1660种原生原虫中，70%是自由生活的，其余是寄生的。自1994年以来，馆藏中所代表的属的数量增加了30%以上。1994年7月以来加入的315株中，219株是在美国国家科学基金会的支持下获得的。美国国家科学基金会提供支持，以支持非生物医学兴趣的菌株的获取和分布。大多数属，无论是原生动物还是藻类，在任何其他公共收藏中都没有代表。这些收藏品的样品只收取少量的费用。
