The vision of CSBR is preservation of biological collections in the U.S. that will lead to new discoveries through research and better understanding and appreciation of biodiversity through improved education and outreach, resulting in improved environmental and economic policies. This workshop seeks to engage students, women and individual from groups under-represented in STEM. The activities proposed will broaden participation by targeting curators and managers at MSIs in Georgia and adjacent states.This award will support participant costs and supplies for a workshop for collections managers and curators with the goal consolidating efforts of the Georgia Herbarium Alliance Consortium. The workshop would provide participants with hands-on training in best practices in workflows that are critical to collections security, preservation and digitization. In addition to targeting herbaria within Georgia, the workshop seeks to enhance practices in neighboring states and use expertise from iDigBio personnel in training activities. These activities strengthen the infrastructure for biodiversity research, goals of the Collections in Support of Biological Research (CSBR) and the Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) programs. The CSBR program supports collection security and preservation while the ADBC program increase visibility and access to data and images for millions of biological specimens through digitization. These data are made available to the research community, government agencies, students, educators, and the general public. Improving the ability of natural history collections managers and curators in Georgia and surrounding states will strengthen this resource and include the best practices learned as part of the normal workflow in their facilities.

CSBR的愿景是保护美国的生物收藏品，通过研究获得新的发现，并通过改善教育和宣传更好地理解和欣赏生物多样性，从而改善环境和经济政策。该研讨会旨在吸引学生，妇女和来自STEM代表性不足的群体的个人。拟议的活动将通过针对格鲁吉亚和邻近州的MSI的馆长和管理人员来扩大参与。该奖项将支持参与者的费用和用品，用于为藏品管理人员和馆长举办研讨会，目标是巩固格鲁吉亚植物标本馆联盟的努力。该讲习班将为参与者提供关于对藏品安全、保存和数字化至关重要的工作流程最佳做法的实践培训。除了针对格鲁吉亚内的植物标本库外，该研讨会还寻求加强邻国的做法，并在培训活动中利用iDigBio人员的专业知识。这些活动加强了生物多样性研究的基础设施，支持生物研究的收藏品（CSBR）和推进生物多样性收藏品数字化（ADBC）计划的目标。CSBR计划支持收集安全和保存，而ADBC计划通过数字化增加了数百万生物标本的数据和图像的可见性和访问。这些数据提供给研究界，政府机构，学生，教育工作者和公众。提高格鲁吉亚和周边各州自然历史收藏管理人员和馆长的能力将加强这一资源，并将学到的最佳做法作为其设施正常工作流程的一部分。
