Brief Description:

Overview of Opportunity:This program seeks to enhance and expand the national resource of digital data documenting existing vouchered biological and paleontological collections and to advance scientific knowledge by improving access to digitized information (including images) residing in vouchered scientific collections across the United States. The information associated with various collections of organisms, such as geographic, paleogeographic and stratigraphic distribution, environmental habitat data, phenology, information about associated organisms, collector field notes, and tissues and molecular data extracted from the specimens, is a rich resource providing the baseline from which to further biodiversity research and provide critical information about existing gaps in our knowledge of life on earth. Harvard University, as one institution, is limited to submitting one Thematic Collections Network (TCN) proposal. There are no limits to how many Partner to Existing Networks (PEN) proposals Harvard may collaborate on. PEN proposals do not need to be facilitated through the OVPR office. Only those interested in submitting a TCN proposal are asked to first apply internally.
