Presentation Transcript

  1. Advancing Digitization of Biological Collections(ADBC) program at NSF Anne Maglia Program Director, NSF/BIO amaglia@nsf.gov; (703) 292-7380 11/12/2011 Entomological Collections Network Reno, NV

  2. ADBC initiative Quick overview How’d we get here? Where are we now? What’s new?

  3. Overview of ADBC 10 year, BIO/EF Goal: digitize all non-federal US-held vouchered natural history collections 2nd year of competition At least $10 million a year

  4. Setting the stage NSF priority for 21st century (CIF21): provide a comprehensive, integrated, sustainable, and secure cyberinfrastructure to accelerate research, education and new functional capabilities transform our ability to effectively address and solve the many complex problems facing science and society

  5. Timeline 2005: Interagency Working Group on Scientific                    Collections (IWGSC) formed to assess fed                  holdings 2006: Collections Web RCN funded 2008: NSF surveys non-federal collections 2009: IWGSC releases “Green report” results 2009: NSF releases survey results

  6. Timeline 2009: NSF budget request includes collections 2010: NSF funds meetings to develop strategic plan 2010: Strategic plan released (“NIBA report”) 2010: America Competes include federal collections 2010: NSF strategic plan strong CI focus, BIO                      budget includes collection digitization initiative

  7. NIBA strategic plan A central organization for integration people and data Thematic networks based on research area Regional and clade-based efforts New tools and technologies Training and outreach Partner with other agencies, organizations

  8. NIBA strategic plan A central organization for integration people and data Thematic networks based on research area Regional and clade-based efforts New tools and technologies Training and outreach Partner with other agencies, organizations

  9. ADBC was born! Focused on: Central coordinating resource for digitization projects (HUB) Digitization based on research challenges TCNs = Thematic Collections Networks Requires: Innovative approaches to digitization Inclusivity and prioritization Training and outreach

  10. FY11 Competition HUB awarded to U Florida and FSU = iDigBio 3 TCN awards: Tritrophic interactions InvertNet Bryophytes and lichens

  11. What’s new? FY12 competition: HUB competition removed from solicitation PEN (Partnerships with Existing Networks) proposals accepted Plans to integrate with federal, international collections---BISON? (Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation)

  12. Reminder… Several other programs at NSF may also support collections-associated activities: CSBR (coll in support of bio research): improvements, digitization ABI (adv in biol informatics): computational tools IDBR (instrument dev for bio research): instrumentation And many more in BIO/DEB, OCI, and cross-foundational
