Funding is provided to Florida State University to stage a workshop at the 2017 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) annual meeting in Helsinki, Finland. GBIF is a repository for global biodiversity data of critical importance to the U.S. research community. GBIF's data include accessions from developing countries, some of the most biodiversity rich countries but whose data are usually inaccessible to U.S.-based researchers. The workshop will engage managers of biodiversity information (GBIF Node Managers) from several developing countries. This effort facilitates increased accessibility of biodiversity information and benefits U.S.-based researchers as they will be able to leverage these data for their scientific and other benefits. The meeting of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) will be held on September 23-24, 2017 in Helsinki Finland. A goal of this meeting is to increase the ability of GBIF National Nodes to contribute to the biodiversity information that is available globally. Access to biodiversity data through the GBIF portal benefits the U.S. research community by making available crucial data from across the globe, including developing countries whose data is often difficult to obtain. The supported workshop facilitates the participation of Node Managers from some developing countries. These individuals are usually tasked with the responsibility, or involved in the decision-making process, that impacts the availability of, and access to biodiversity information from their countries. The workshop also facilitates the sharing of digitization expertise and associated technologies, potentially resulting in overall improved data quality. Additionally, collaborations developed as a result of this workshop will facilitate U.S. researchers' navigation of the requirements of the Nagoya Protocol in their pursuit of data from other countries. Citizen science initiatives, that have proven successful in the U.S. and other developed countries, will also be discussed. If these public engagement strategies are adopted by resource managers in developing countries, they have the potential for broad community engagement across national boundaries resulting in more data of higher quality.

向佛罗里达州立大学提供资金，在芬兰赫尔辛基举行的2017年全球生物多样性信息基金（GBIF）年会上举办研讨会。GBIF是一个对美国研究界至关重要的全球生物多样性数据存储库。GBIF的数据包括来自发展中国家的数据，这些国家是生物多样性最丰富的国家，但美国的研究人员通常无法获得这些国家的数据。讲习班将邀请来自几个发展中国家的生物多样性信息管理人员（GBIF节点管理人员）参加。这项工作有助于增加生物多样性信息的可获得性，并使美国的研究人员受益，因为他们将能够利用这些数据为他们的科学和其他利益服务。全球生物多样性信息基金（GBIF）会议将于2017年9月23-24日在芬兰赫尔辛基举行。本次会议的目标之一是提高GBIF国家节点为全球可用的生物多样性信息做出贡献的能力。通过GBIF门户网站获取生物多样性数据使美国研究界受益，因为它可以获得来自全球各地的关键数据，包括那些往往难以获得数据的发展中国家的重要数据。支助的讲习班促进了一些发展中国家的节点管理人员的参与。这些个人通常承担责任，或参与决策过程，影响其国家生物多样性信息的可得性和获取。该研讨会还促进了数字化专业知识和相关技术的共享，从而有可能全面提高数据质量。此外，由于本次研讨会而开展的合作将有助于美国研究人员在从其他国家获取数据时了解《名古屋议定书》的要求。在美国和其他发达国家已经被证明是成功的公民科学计划也将被讨论。如果发展中国家的资源管理者采用这些公众参与战略，它们就有可能促进跨国界的广泛社区参与，从而产生更多更高质量的数据。
