Cornell University is awarded a grant to support the cyberinfrastructure to sustain the continued exponential growth of eBird, an online data resource for global bird biodiversity. With its launch in 2002, eBird opened a new era of real-time data gathering by birders, and by 2020, the project has become the world’s largest biodiversity-related citizen science project. More than 500,000 contributors have submitted almost 750 million bird observations of more than 10,000 bird species globally. These data provide comprehensive, high-resolution information about the spatial and temporal distribution of bird populations across a species full range, throughout the year. Modeling eBird data has generated North American bird status and trends results that provide an unparalleled window into a species’ full annual cycle providing a valuable source of population-level distributional data for basic biological research and conservation applications. All eBird data is openly available and has been downloaded more than 130,000 times by students, educators, government staff, and researchers, resulting in more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers. True to its beginnings, eBird is still grounded in serving as an essential tool for birding and more than 8 million people access eBird every year from every country to explore eBird data through interactive exploration, visualization and analysis tools.Much of the research in basic and applied ecology is founded in descriptions of distribution and abundance of species. Long-term, well-organized data covering broad spatial scales are necessary for documenting change, generating hypotheses for their causes, and ultimately understanding how these changes relate to overall ecosystem health and function. While collecting a single-species occurrence datum is a well-understood process, the coordinated collection, curation, access, and storage of these data is no small task. Appropriately structured, openly available, and maintained in a consistent long-term cyberinfrastructure species occurrence, as well as other large-scale environmental datasets have become essential for studying biodiversity. The goal of eBird’s data management infrastructure is to provide a: (1) a single, consistently gathered and curated data source that is openly available and widely in use, (2) represents a substantial proportion of all available data on distribution of all bird species globally, and (3) provides these data in a suite of value-added products that lower the threshold of data management needed to use these data.

康奈尔大学获得一笔拨款，用于支持网络基础设施，以维持 eBird（全球鸟类生物多样性在线数据资源）的持续指数增长。 eBird 于 2002 年推出，开启了观鸟者实时数据收集的新时代，到 2020 年，该项目已成为世界上最大的生物多样性相关公民科学项目。超过 500,000 名贡献者提交了全球 10,000 多种鸟类的近 7.5 亿份鸟类观察结果。这些数据提供了有关全年整个物种范围内鸟类种群空间和时间分布的全面、高分辨率信息。对 eBird 数据进行建模生成了北美鸟类状况和趋势结果，为了解物种的完整年度周期提供了无与伦比的窗口，为基础生物学研究和保护应用提供了种群水平分布数据的宝贵来源。所有 eBird 数据均公开提供，并已被学生、教育工作者、政府工作人员和研究人员下载超过 130,000 次，产生了 300 多篇经过同行评审的科学论文。一如既往，eBird 仍然立足于作为观鸟的重要工具，每年有超过 800 万人从各个国家访问 eBird，通过交互式探索、可视化和分析工具来探索 eBird 数据。基础和应用生态学的大部分研究都是建立在对物种分布和丰富度的描述之上。覆盖广泛空间尺度的长期、组织良好的数据对于记录变化、对其原因产生假设以及最终了解这些变化与整体生态系统健康和功能的关系是必要的。虽然收集单一物种发生数据是一个众所周知的过程，但这些数据的协调收集、管理、访问和存储却不是一件容易的事。结构适当、公开可用并保持一致的长期网络基础设施物种发生情况以及其他大规模环境数据集已成为研究生物多样性的必要条件。 eBird 数据管理基础设施的目标是提供：(1) 一个单一、一致收集和整理的数据源，可公开获取并广泛使用，(2) 代表全球所有鸟类分布的所有可用数据的很大一部分，(3) 在一套增值产品中提供这些数据，降低使用这些数据所需的数据管理门槛。有关 eBird 的更多信息，请访问其网站：http://ebird.org。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
