The University of Cincinnati received a $524,176 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure on September 15, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024.
Under the grant, the University will relocate and undertake critical upgrades to storage, curation, and digital access capabilities for the Margaret H. Fulford Herbarium. The Herbarium collection will be moved to a new facility and improvements will be made to ensure proper long-term preservation of plant specimens and associated data. Digital access will also be enhanced to allow broader scientific use of the collection.
This award supports the objectives of the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The program aims to advance the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues. Most funding supports basic research, consistent with the goals of upgrading infrastructure to preserve natural history specimens and improve digital discovery.
