The plant family Ericaceae (4000 species) has a global distribution and includes economically important members, such as blueberries, cranberries, and rhododendrons. The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) received an award to updated species identifications, curate, refurbish with archival storage materials, image, and database Ericaceae research specimens at both NYBG and Rutgers University. The unique assemblage, which supports biodiversity research, includes herbarium specimens, liquid preserved tissue, anatomical microscope slides, wood, DNA samples, and images of living plants. Computerization upgraded to a web framework will enable the integration and simultaneous searching of all these collections. Education is a primary intellectual merit of this project. A doctoral student will receive two years of support while being trained in the stewardship of an array of natural history collections. NYBG also develops under-represented groups by training students, interns and international collaborators. Upgrading collections infrastructure and electronic data dissemination will facilitate collections use in educational endeavors beyond NYBG. Using these research materials, an on-line atlas of Ericaceae anatomy and a K-12 teachers workshop will be developed. A symposium will educate Rutgers University biology under- and graduate-students about NYBG's collections as a global tool for research, education, and ex situ conservation.

植物科Ericaceae（4000种）具有全球分布，包括经济重要的成员，例如蓝莓，蔓越莓和杜鹃花。纽约植物园（NYBG）获得了更新的物种标识，策展人，翻新，用档案存储材料，图像和数据库Ericaceae研究标本，以及NYBG和Rutgers University的数据库。支持生物多样性研究的独特组合包括标本室标本，液体保存组织，解剖显微镜载玻片，木材，DNA样品以及活植物的图像。升级到网络框架的计算机化将使所有这些集合的集成和同时搜索。教育是该项目的主要知识分子。博士生将获得两年的支持，同时接受了一系列自然历史收藏的管理培训。 NYBG还通过培训学生，实习生和国际合作者发展了代表性不足的团体。升级的集合基础设施和电子数据传播将有助于在NYBG以外的教育努力中使用收集。使用这些研究材料，将开发一个在线图地图和K-12教师研讨会。研讨会将教育罗格斯大学生物学不足和研究生的研究人员，以作为NYBG的收藏作为研究，教育和实体保护的全球工具。
