The CSBR program is administered by the Division of Biological Infrastructure with the goal of strengthening the infrastructure critical to conducting basic research in areas within the purview of the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO). In addition to providing support for securing the collections themselves, a high priority is placed on preserving and integrating collection information and developing innovative methods of improving the safekeeping of scientifically important collections.
There are three competitive areas within this opportunity: Natural History Collections, Living Stock Collections, and Transfer of Ownership Collections. Applicants are encouraged to consult the
