Series objective
With the recent passage of the CHIPS legislation (See HB 4346; Section 10355, Biological Research Collections) Congress authorized development of an Action Center for Biological Collections (ACBC) as recommended in the 2020 report of an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine: Biological Collections: Ensuring Critical Research and Education for the 21st Century (NASEM report). This series of webinars and workshops will be co-sponsored by iDigBio, SPNHC, NSCA, AIBS, NMNH, NYBG, LACM, and the Field Museum and will bring together collections leaders across the U.S. for the purpose of following up NSF’s investments in ADBC, NASEM, and BCoN and with the goal of producing an enhanced vision of a U.S. Action Center for Biological Collections.
We hope that by having a combination of virtual and in person events, all interested within the community will have an opportunity to participate and contribute in some way.
