An award is made to Ohio State University to support The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC), which collects, curates and distributes resources of the powerful plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. This collection of one million stocks includes seed lines, DNA stocks and educational materials. Hundreds of thousands of high quality stocks are annually shipped to the international plant biology community of 27,000 researchers. The ABRC's activities have a broad impact by enabling worldwide cutting-edge advancements in agriculture, medicine and basic research. The ABRC performs rigorous quality controls to ensure the uniformity and quality of stocks, which enables data reproducibility and accountability within the field. The access to resources is provided to researches, teachers, students, companies and the general public through the online distribution system, and the ABRC leads in public education through a number of outreach activities, conferences, workshops, and teacher trainings. This RAPID funding allows the ABRC to continue to provide the plant biology community with a large number of high quality stocks, without a reduction in speed or quality control.This award will support the ABRC's workforce and its core functions to quickly distribute stocks, perform quality control germination and genotyping, and curate the donation of new community resources. As a Living Stocks collection, ABRC is a biological infrastructure resource that is fundamental to a significant community of researchers, including those funded by NSF, other agencies, and internationally. This RAPID award will allow the ABRC to maintain the availability of stocks at a cost that fosters an innovative and creative plant biology community.

俄亥俄州立大学获得了一项奖项，以支持拟南芥生物资源中心 (ABRC)，该中心收集、管理和分发强大的植物模式生物拟南芥的资源。这 100 万个库存包括种子系、DNA 库存和教育材料。每年有数十万种高质量库存被运送到由 27,000 名研究人员组成的国际植物生物学界。 ABRC 的活动通过促进全球农业、医学和基础研究领域的前沿进步而产生广泛影响。 ABRC 执行严格的质量控制，以确保库存的一致性和质量，从而实现现场数据的可重复性和问责制。通过在线分发系统向研究人员、教师、学生、公司和公众提供资源访问权限，ABRC 通过一系列外展活动、会议、研讨会和教师培训在公共教育方面发挥主导作用。这笔快速资金使 ABRC 能够继续为植物生物学界提供大量高质量库存，而不会降低速度或质量控制。该奖项将支持 ABRC 的员工队伍及其核心职能，以快速分配库存、执行质量控制控制发芽和基因分型，并策划新社区资源的捐赠。作为活畜收藏，ABRC 是一种生物基础设施资源，对于重要的研究人员群体（包括由 NSF、其他机构和国际资助的研究人员群体）至关重要。 该 RAPID 奖项将使 ABRC 能够以培育创新和创造性植物生物学界的成本维持库存的可用性。
