An award is made to the Drosophila Species Stock Center (DSSC) at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) to provide the research and education communities with 1) a repository to maintain and secure standardized genetic resources for current and future generations of investigators and educators, 2) tools to perform manipulative empirical studies, not possible with preserved material, to inform practical applications, and 3) access to relatively inexpensive materials for engaging students in the Nation's classrooms. The DSSC currently maintains a diverse collection of over 1600 living specimens from 225 Drosophila species.Community interest in the collection is broad and includes both an education and research component. Virtually all fields of biological inquiry, such as genetics, genomics, cellular and developmental biology, physiology, neurobiology and behavior, ecology, systematics, and evolution, benefit from the resources offered by the DSSC. The research products generated using DSSC stocks can be classified as essential science, an important focus of the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences, as well as translational science that has a direct and positive impact on the well-being of all people. Furthermore, stock center personnel work with existing infrastructure at UCSD to facilitate the teaching of concepts related to invasive species, biodiversity, evolution, and ecology in K-12 classrooms. More information can be obtained on the DSSC website (https://stockcenter.ucsd.edu/info/welcome.php).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.

授予加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的果蝇物种储备中心（DSSC）一个奖项，为研究和教育界提供1）一个为当前和未来几代研究人员和教育工作者维护和保护标准化遗传资源的储存库，2）进行操纵性实证研究的工具，这是保存材料所无法实现的，为实际应用提供信息，以及3）获得相对便宜的材料，让学生参与国家的课堂。目前，DSSC保存了225种果蝇的1600多个活体标本。社区对这些标本的兴趣广泛，包括教育和研究部分。几乎所有的生物学研究领域，如遗传学、基因组学、细胞和发育生物学、生理学、神经生物学和行为学、生态学、系统学和进化，都受益于DSSC提供的资源。利用DSSC库存产生的研究产品可以被归类为基本科学，这是NSF生物科学理事会的一个重要重点，以及对所有人的福祉产生直接和积极影响的转化科学。此外，库存中心人员与UCSD现有的基础设施合作，以促进K-12教室中与入侵物种，生物多样性，进化和生态学相关的概念的教学。更多信息可以在DSSC网站上获得（https：//stockcenter.ucsd.edu/info/welcome.php）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
