Understanding the natural world and our place in it depends on accurate information about life on Earth. Much of this knowledge comes from the scientific collections accumulated over centuries. These large collections in turn are partly an amalgam of many smaller ones, made and donated by research institutions and naturalists that no longer have the capacity to care for them or make them available to users. The goal of this project is to provide for the long-term care and accessibility of three important collections received by the Florida Museum. About 67,000 specimen lots (each "lot" contains one or more specimens) representing more than 300,000 specimens of diverse marine organisms will be archivally rehoused, and made available online, through loans, and to visitors. The Florida Museum invertebrate collection (FLMNH-IZ) will be expanded with new shelving and cabinetry to accommodate recent growth. A cadre of undergraduate students will help to carry out this work, as they also learn about marine life, biodiversity, and museum science in short courses organized as part of the project.The project will provide new shelf and cabinet space for the greatly increased at FLMNH-IZ. The collection has doubled in size in 15 years as a result of an active field program, and rescue and curation of valuable relinquished collections. The FLMNH-IZ is a major research node for studies on mollusks and tropical marine invertebrates. It serves the third largest collection of specimen-data on non-insect invertebrates in the world and is used broadly by the research community. The collection averages 35-40 visitors, 75-80 loans, and is the basis of 40-50 publications a year. The project will also allow the curation of three high-quality relinquished collections. The Harry Lee collection is perhaps the most important private shell collection in the US and includes specimens of 12,000 identified species. The Maturo and McKinney Bryozoa collections are among the largest in the country of the poorly known but highly diverse "moss animals". The NOAA-NCRMP collection is an alcohol-fixed, wet collection of reef invertebrates holding several thousand species taken from 26 islands across the tropical Pacific over the past decade, including from several remote, uninhabited, and virtually unknown islands. It offers a wealth of material for systematic and molecular genetic studies of Pacific biodiversity. These collections will be available physically and online, through resources such as iDigBio (idigbio.org) together with the more than 600,000 specimen records already digitized.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

了解自然世界及其在其中的位置取决于有关地球生命的准确信息。这些知识的大部分来自几个世纪以来积累的科学收藏。 这些大型收藏又部分是由许多较小的收藏品组成的，由研究机构和博物学家制造和捐赠，不再有能力照顾他们或使用户可以使用它们。 该项目的目的是提供佛罗里达博物馆收到的三个重要收藏的长期护理和可访问性。大约有67,000个标本（每个标本包含一个或多个标本）代表300,000多个标本的不同海洋生物标本，将在档案上重新房屋，并通过贷款和访客在线提供。 佛罗里达博物馆无脊椎动物收藏（FLMNH-IZ）将通过新的搁板和橱柜扩展，以适应最近的增长。 一群本科生的干部将有助于开展这项工作，因为他们还学习了作为该项目的一部分的短期课程中的海洋生物，生物多样性和博物馆科学。该项目将为FLMNH-IS提供新的货架和橱柜空间。由于有效的现场计划，该系列的规模增加了一倍，并挽救了有价值的放弃收藏品。 FLMNH-IS是针对软体动物和热带海洋无脊椎动物的研究的主要研究节点。它是世界上无脊椎动物的第三大标本数据集，并被研究界广泛使用。该系列的平均访客平均为75-80贷款，是每年40-50张出版物的基础。该项目还将允许三个高质量放弃收藏的策划。哈里·李（Harry Lee）系列也许是美国最重要的私人外壳收藏品，包括12,000种已确定物种的标本。 Maturo和McKinney Bryozoa系列是该国最大的知名但高度多样的“苔藓动物”的最大收藏品之一。 NOAA-NCRMP收藏品是过去十年中从热带太平洋的26个岛屿上占领数千种藏品的湿礁无脊椎动物，包括来自几个遥远，无人居住的和几乎不知名的岛屿。它为太平洋生物多样性的系统和分子遗传研究提供了丰富的材料。 这些收藏将通过IDIGBIO（IDIGBIO.org）等资源以及已经数字化的600,000多个标本记录进行物理和在线提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
