RAPID support of Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center core missions

俄亥俄州立大学获得了一项奖励，以支持拟南芥生物资源中心（ABRC），该中心收集、管理和分发强大的植物模式生物拟南芥的资源。这100万份库存包括种子品系、DNA库存和教育材料。每年有成千上万的高质量鱼类被运往拥有27,000名研究人员的国际植物生物学社区。ABRC的活动通过促进全球农业、医学和基础研究的前沿进步具有广泛的影响。ABRC执行严格的质量控制，以确保库存的一致性和质量，从而实现现场数据的可重复性和问责制。通过在线分发系统向研究人员、教师、学生、公司和公众提供资源，ABRC通过一系列外展活动、会议、讲习班和教师培训在公共教育方面发挥领导作用。这种快速资助使ABRC能够继续为植物生物界提供大量高质量的库存，而不会降低速度或质量控制。该奖项将支持ABRC的工作人员及其核心职能，以快速分发库存，执行萌发和基因分型的质量控制，并策划新的社区资源的捐赠。ABRC是一个生物基础设施资源，是一个重要的研究群体的基础，包括那些由NSF、其他机构和国际资助的研究人员。这项RAPID奖励将使ABRC能够以促进创新和创造性植物生物学社区的成本保持库存的可用性。

An award is made to Ohio State University to support The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC), which collects, curates and distributes resources of the powerful plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. This collection of one million stocks includes seed lines, DNA stocks and educational materials. Hundreds of thousands of high quality stocks are annually shipped to the international plant biology community of 27,000 researchers. The ABRC's activities have a broad impact by enabling worldwide cutting-edge advancements in agriculture, medicine and basic research. The ABRC performs rigorous quality controls to ensure the uniformity and quality of stocks, which enables data reproducibility and accountability within the field. The access to resources is provided to researches, teachers, students, companies and the general public through the online distribution system, and the ABRC leads in public education through a number of outreach activities, conferences, workshops, and teacher trainings. This RAPID funding allows the ABRC to continue to provide the plant biology community with a large number of high quality stocks, without a reduction in speed or quality control.This award will support the ABRC's workforce and its core functions to quickly distribute stocks, perform quality control germination and genotyping, and curate the donation of new community resources. As a Living Stocks collection, ABRC is a biological infrastructure resource that is fundamental to a significant community of researchers, including those funded by NSF, other agencies, and internationally. This RAPID award will allow the ABRC to maintain the availability of stocks at a cost that fosters an innovative and creative plant biology community.
