The National Science Foundation awarded a $217,080 project grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DIGITIZATION TCN: EXTENDING ANTHOPHILA RESEARCH THROUGH IMAGE AND TRAIT DIGITIZATION (BIG-BEE)" effort. The grant will fund the digitization of images and trait data to extend ongoing research on Anthophila, commonly known as bees, through September 2024. By digitizing existing physical collections and incorporating trait data into online databases, this project aims to leverage technological capabilities to enhance scientific understanding of major issues facing bee populations. The grant monies will be administered through the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants.
