Natural history collections at universities across the United States were built over time by researchers, professors, and students, and they often are the best scientific representation of regional biodiversity for the surrounding areas. Despite the research value, some of these collections are in distress due to lack of local institutional support. One approach for raising awareness and support for the research and education value of campus collections is a student-led Natural History Collections Club (NHCC). Since 2013, several clubs have formed based on the NHCC model to train the next generation of undergraduate students in biological collections methods and management; and to raise awareness, increase scientific and educational use, of their campus natural history collections. These clubs collectively form the Natural History Collections Club Network (NHCCN). The Network has hosted workshops at international and regional meetings to encourage other groups to take up the NHCC model on their campuses and to start a student club and become part of the NHCCN. Through this award, workshop activities are planned that recruit and educate interested students and faculty advisors to develop a NHCC, strengthen the existing network, and support participation in existing NHCCs. A 2019 workshop will take place during a full day of the annual meeting of the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC), which meets May 26-31. The workshop agenda includes training and discussion on topics such as natural history collections documentation, specimen digitization, and experiential learning. Invitations for workshops will target institutions that may benefit most from joining the NHCCN, such as those that have expressed interest in improving student involvement in collections, particularly institutions with small collections and institutions with minority-serving emphases such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Universities with small natural history collections often contain many records of their surrounding ecosystems not duplicated in larger facilities and therefore provide unique representation of biological diversity to national and global data resources. The support provided through this award represents a cost-efficient way to ensure the maintenance, expansion, and data sharing of participating collections by involving students and recruiting participants from small collections that are committed to the success and sustainability of those collections. A link to the workshop announcement is available on the web (https://www.idigbio.org/content/spnhc-travel-grants-nhccn).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着时间的推移，研究人员，教授和学生随着时间的推移建立了自然历史的收集，它们通常是周围地区地区生物多样性的最佳科学代表。 尽管有研究价值，但其中一些收藏仍处于困境之中，这是由于缺乏当地的机构支持。 一种提高对校园收藏研究和教育价值的认识和支持的方法是由学生领导的自然历史收藏俱乐部（NHCC）。 自2013年以来，基于NHCC模型成立了几个俱乐部，以培训下一代本科生的生物收集方法和管理。为了提高认识，提高对校园自然历史收藏的科学和教育用途。 这些俱乐部集体构成了自然历史收藏俱乐部网络（NHCCN）。该网络已在国际和区域会议上举办研讨会，以鼓励其他团体在校园内采用NHCC模式，并成立学生俱乐部并成为NHCCN的一部分。通过此奖项，计划了研讨会活动，旨在招募和教育感兴趣的学生和教职顾问，以开发NHCC，增强现有网络并支持参与现有NHCCS。 2019年的研讨会将在5月26日至31日开会的自然历史收藏协会（SPNHC）年会的整整一天中举行。 研讨会议程包括有关自然历史收集文档，标本数字化和体验式学习等主题的培训和讨论。研讨会的邀请将针对加入NHCCN的最大受益的机构，例如那些有兴趣改善学生参与馆藏的兴趣，尤其是具有小型收藏的机构和具有少数派服务重点的机构，例如历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）（HBCUS（HBCUS） ），部落学院（TCUS）和西班牙裔服务机构（HSIS）。具有小型自然历史收藏的大学通常包含许多未在较大设施中重复的周围生态系统的记录，因此为国家和全球数据资源提供了独特的生物多样性代表。通过该奖项提供的支持是一种经济高效的方式，可以通过让学生参与并招募参与者的维护，扩展和数据共享，并从小型藏书中招募参与者，这些参与者致力于这些收藏的成功和可持续性。 Web（https://www.idigbio.org/content/content/spnhc-travel-grants-nhccn)）:.这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过使用评估的支持，可以在Web上提供指向研讨会公告的链接（https://www.idigbio.org/content/spnhc-travel-grants-nhccn)..基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评论标准。
