Collaborative Research Workshop Evaluating Value

项目摘要

This workshop will bring together Antarctic marine freshwater and terrestrial biologists, students, and experts in specimen curation to assess the value of, need for, and scope of a biological repository of Antarctic specimens, including tissue samples. Currently, some US collected Antarctic specimen collections are housed in various museums, repositories, and labs. These collections are not easily discoverable on the internet, and how well they represent the biodiversity of Antarctica is largely unknown. The workshop coordinators will advertise the conference broadly and recruit underrepresented groups to participate. Participants will assess current repositories and determine how to make Antarctica biological samples more accessible in a unified location (or through better coordination). This effort will benefit the broader community of biologists working with Antarctic organisms by providing opportunities to conduct Antarctic science by investigators and their students that might otherwise not be possible due to the logistical and budget challenges for deployments. Following workshop activities, a final report will be published on the outcomes of the efforts.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.

本次研讨会将汇集南极海洋淡水和陆地生物学家、学生和标本管理专家，以评估南极标本（包括组织样本）生物库的价值、需求和范围。目前，一些美国收集的南极标本收藏在各种博物馆、仓库和实验室里。这些藏品不容易在互联网上找到，它们在多大程度上代表了南极洲的生物多样性，这在很大程度上是未知的。讲习班协调员将广泛宣传会议，并招募代表性不足的群体参加。与会者将评估目前的储存库，并确定如何使南极洲生物样本在一个统一的地点更容易获得（或通过更好的协调）。这一努力将使研究南极生物的生物学家更广泛的群体受益，因为它为研究人员和他们的学生提供了开展南极科学的机会，否则，由于部署的后勤和预算挑战，这些机会是不可能实现的。讲习班活动结束后，将发表一份关于努力成果的最后报告。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
