A vision of NSF's biological collections programs is preservation of biological collections in the U.S. and increased accessibility of collections data that will lead to new discoveries through research, and a better understanding and appreciation of biodiversity through improved education and outreach, resulting in improved environmental and economic policies. This workshop seeks to engage the community of herbarium curators and learn from the experiences of other collection types to increase the speed and efficiency of digitization. The activities proposed targets curators and managers across a wide spectrum of institutions distributed across eighteen states.This award supports participant costs for a workshop for herbarium managers and curators with the goal to consolidate and standardize best practices across the digitization process. The workshop would bring together experts from across the U.S. in sessions hosted by the digitization HUB (iDigBio) and the Southeast Regional Network of Expertise and Collections (SERNEC) to evaluate and publish community-wide standards for all stages of the digitization process. The proposed activities will standardize best practices across the community, increasing the speed and efficiency of digitization resulting in a reduction in the cost of specimen digitization, a major goal of the NSF's biological collections programs (CSBR and ADBC). These efforts will positively impact the quantity and quality of digitized data made available to the research community, government agencies, students, educators, and the general public.

NSF的生物收集计划的愿景是保护美国生物收集，并增加收集数据的可访问性，这将通过研究导致新发现，并通过改善教育和外展来更好地理解和欣赏生物多样性，从而改善环境和经济政策。该研讨会旨在吸引植物标本室策展人的社区，并从其他收集类型的经验中学习，以提高数字化的速度和效率。这些活动提出了针对在十八个州分发的各种机构的策展人和经理的目标。该奖项为植物园经理和策展人的研讨会的参与者费用提供了整合和标准化整个数字化过程的最佳实践的目标。该研讨会将在数字化中心（IDIGBIO）和东南地区专业知识和收藏网络（SERNEC）举办的会议上汇集来自美国各地的专家，以评估和发布数字化过程的所有阶段的社区范围标准。拟议的活动将标准化整个社区的最佳实践，从而提高数字化的速度和效率，从而降低样品数字化成本，这是NSF生物收集计划（CSBR和ADBC）的主要目标。这些努力将对研究社区，政府机构，学生，教育工作者和公众提供的数字化数据的数量和质量产生积极影响。
