RAPID support of Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center core missions

俄亥俄州立大学被授予支持拟南芥生物资源中心(ABRC)的奖项，该中心收集、管理和分发强大的植物模式生物拟南芥的资源。这一100万份库存包括种子系、DNA库存和教育材料。每年有数十万高质量的植物资源被运往由2.7万名研究人员组成的国际植物生物学社区。ABRC的活动产生了广泛的影响，推动了世界范围内农业、医学和基础研究的前沿进步。ABRC执行严格的质量控制，以确保库存的一致性和质量，从而确保数据在现场的可重复性和问责制。通过在线分发系统向研究人员、教师、学生、公司和公众提供获取资源的机会，ABRC通过一系列外联活动、会议、讲习班和教师培训在公共教育方面发挥领导作用。这笔快速的资金使ABRC能够在不降低速度或质量控制的情况下，继续为植物生物界提供大量高质量的种群。这一奖项将支持ABRC的员工及其核心职能，快速分配种群，执行质量控制萌发和基因分型，并策划新社区资源的捐赠。作为一个活体种群集合，ABRC是一种生物基础设施资源，对一个重要的研究人员社区至关重要，包括由NSF、其他机构和国际机构资助的研究人员。这一快速授予将使ABRC能够以促进创新和创造性植物生物学社区的成本保持库存的可用性。

An award is made to Ohio State University to support The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC), which collects, curates and distributes resources of the powerful plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. This collection of one million stocks includes seed lines, DNA stocks and educational materials. Hundreds of thousands of high quality stocks are annually shipped to the international plant biology community of 27,000 researchers. The ABRC's activities have a broad impact by enabling worldwide cutting-edge advancements in agriculture, medicine and basic research. The ABRC performs rigorous quality controls to ensure the uniformity and quality of stocks, which enables data reproducibility and accountability within the field. The access to resources is provided to researches, teachers, students, companies and the general public through the online distribution system, and the ABRC leads in public education through a number of outreach activities, conferences, workshops, and teacher trainings. This RAPID funding allows the ABRC to continue to provide the plant biology community with a large number of high quality stocks, without a reduction in speed or quality control.This award will support the ABRC's workforce and its core functions to quickly distribute stocks, perform quality control germination and genotyping, and curate the donation of new community resources. As a Living Stocks collection, ABRC is a biological infrastructure resource that is fundamental to a significant community of researchers, including those funded by NSF, other agencies, and internationally. This RAPID award will allow the ABRC to maintain the availability of stocks at a cost that fosters an innovative and creative plant biology community.
