An award had been made to support for one of the largest tissue collections of fishes in the world, Saint Louis University's Genetic Resources and Collection (GRC), started in the late 1980's. This collection contains tissues and associated information that are irreplaceable with respect to geographic coverages of species and species diversity, suitable for a plethora of evolutionary, ecological, molecular, and toxicity studies. The GRC is an important, internationally known repository and contains important temporal samples and geographic materials for use in investigations associated with gene expression, ecology, toxicology, epidemiology, and physiology, and anatomy. The thoroughness of this collection provides materials significant to human health, food security, human security and safety, and long-term livelihood and socio-economic development, and systematic and evolutionary biology of fishes. This award will provide funding for two years to enhance the curation of the GRC. Activities will include purchase of new freezers and a freezer databasing system, and will support a web-based system for more efficient collection management and user access, an effective tracking and inventory system, and chain-of-custody. A new staff curator position will serve as a permanent collections manager. Since 1980 the GRC has gifted or exchanged 24,122 specimens to 122 institutions and 532 scientists (sometimes multiple requests by individual); gifts range from 1 to 4,484 specimens and from 1 to 2,884 species; 55 Ph. D. dissertations have used materials from the collection. This grant will also allow for enhanced public access to the holdings of the collection and the development of a best practices manual for tissue collections and a survey of the world's tissue resources on fishes.

圣路易斯大学的遗传资源和收集（GRC）颁发了一项奖项，以支持世界上最大的鱼类组织之一。 该集合包含有关物种和物种多样性的地理覆盖范围不可替代的组织和相关信息，适用于大量进化，生态，分子和毒性研究。 GRC是一个重要的，国际知名的存储库，包含重要的时间样本和地理材料，用于与基因表达，生态学，毒理学，流行病学和生理学以及解剖学相关的研究。该系列的彻底性为人类健康，粮食安全，人类安全和安全以及长期生计和社会经济发展以及鱼类的系统和进化生物学提供了重要的材料。 该奖项将提供两年的资金，以增强GRC的策划。 活动将包括购买新的冰柜和冰柜数据库系统，并将支持基于Web的系统，以进行更有效的收集管理和用户访问，有效的跟踪和库存系统以及客户链。 新的员工策展人职位将担任永久收藏经理。 自1980年以来，GRC已将24,122个标本赠予或交换给了122个机构和532个科学家（有时是个人的多个请求）；礼物范围从1到4,484个标本，从1到2,884种； 55博士D.论文使用了该集合中的材料。 该赠款还将允许公众获得收集股份的访问权限，并开发用于组织收集的最佳实践手册，并对世界上有关鱼类的组织资源进行调查。
