The Louisiana State University Agricultural Center was awarded $299,866 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop an open hardware ecosystem for aquatic germplasm preservation. The award period is from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The project aims to establish genetic repositories for safeguarding aquatic species by creating an accessible open hardware platform. Users will be able to access files to 3D print devices for cryopreservation of valuable genetic lines. This will allow laboratories, stock centers, academic institutions, aquaculture producers, and conservation agencies to preserve and distribute genetic material. The planning phase will develop simulation modeling to analyze the proposed platform and identify resource needs to maintain and utilize the ecosystem. The open distribution of technology will support the preservation of aquatic species while protecting intellectual property.
