Emory University received a $197,924 Project Grant awarded September 15, 2026, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award supports the development of Biodiversity On Demand (BOND), a pilot web platform designed to discover, compare, and integrate biodiversity databases. This infrastructure initiative addresses the scientific community's need to consolidate fragmented biodiversity data—including species geographic distributions, functional traits, phylogenetic relationships, phenology, and biotic interactions—currently scattered across numerous isolated repositories. By creating a unified discovery and integration platform, BOND will enhance researchers' capacity to access and synthesize comprehensive biodiversity information across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales. The project, with a completion date of August 31, 2029, will facilitate more effective utilization of rapidly growing biodiversity data to support evidence-based understanding and management of biodiversity loss. The initiative also incorporates workforce development by providing research support opportunities for undergraduate students, thereby training the next generation of scientists in database management and biodiversity informatics. This collaborative research infrastructure project directly supports the NSF Biological Sciences program's objective to advance understanding of biological processes and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
