The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $187,990 to the Missouri Botanical Garden on September 15, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to develop Biodiversity on Demand (BOND), a pilot web platform for discovering, comparing, and integrating biodiversity databases. The project addresses a critical challenge in biodiversity research by consolidating access to scattered, isolated databases containing species geographic distributions, functional traits, phylogenetic relationships, phenology, and biotic interactions. BOND is designed to enhance the scientific community's capacity for database discovery, comparison, and integration, enabling more effective synthesis and utilization of the rapidly growing volume of biodiversity data to support understanding and management of biodiversity loss, which has direct implications for human health, food security, and the economy. The project, with completion targeted for August 31, 2029, will support the training of next-generation scientists through undergraduate research experiences while delivering a functional platform to address gaps in knowledge discovery across Earth's biodiversity. By aligning disparate data collection efforts and improving accessibility to existing biodiversity information, BOND aims to provide the scientific community with a more complete picture of global biodiversity across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
