项目摘要

This project will create a conference-based workshop and symposium at the annual Association for Southeastern Biologists conference (March 2023; Winston-Salem, North Carolina) and the Botany 2023 conference (July 2023; Boise, Idaho) to train scientists in new computational skills and practices that build inclusive and sustainable infrastructure for collections-based research. Recent advances in web-based software now make it possible for taxonomic experts to receive greater professional recognition and citation of their digitized biological specimens and identifications. Use of these software tools can increase the visibility of scientists as well as modernize the professional rewards system to support the development of taxonomic expertise. However, creating a self-sustaining cycle of specimen attribution and citation that leverages this new software requires greater awareness by collections-based researchers and cultural change in how taxonomic expertise is credited. At the heart of this change is ensuring that the names of the people who collect and identify biological research specimens are disambiguated and associated with globally unique identifiers. Accurate people-data are an essential part of the vision for an extended specimen network because they link groups of specimens across institutions and uncover events in the history of science. The project will develop research infrastructure that is more inclusive, because taxonomic contributions by all people would be acknowledged explicitly, and sustainable, because improved recognition of taxonomic expertise would help build and sustain this scientific workforce in the US.Workshops will include 75 participants and the symposia will feature 12 diverse speakers, who will reach an anticipated audience of 190 collections-based researchers. Speakers will deliver case-studies that illustrate integrating people-data into the digital infrastructure of biological research collections. The workshop will comprise four hours of instruction about the use of globally unique identifiers for people within the biodiversity informatics open-access software services of Bionomia and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and their interaction with Open Researcher and Contributor ID, Wikidata, and Zenodo. Participants will learn how to use these tools as part of documenting their own collections-based research activities and as a means of community-level change in how taxonomic expertise is acknowledged. For the latter objective, participants will practice attributing US herbarium specimens to historical people from underrepresented groups, which will increase the visibility of these scientists’ intellectual contributions to biological research collections as well as improve the curation of digitized US biological research collections. Extensive plans are included to ensure broad participation, including outreach methods to underrepresented groups and support to participants in the form of travel stipend and dependent-care assistance. Workshop and symposium outcomes will be assessed rigorously and shared with the broader systematics community as a model for improving how taxonomic expertise is credited.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.

该项目将在东南生物学家年度协会会议（2023年3月；温斯顿·塞勒姆，北卡罗来纳州）和植物学2023会议（2023年7月；爱达荷州博伊西，爱达荷州的植物学）会议上创建一个基于会议的研讨会和研讨会，以培训基于包含和可持续的基础研究的新计算技能和实践的科学家。现在，基于Web的软件的最新进展使分类专家可以获得更高的专业认可，并引用其数字化生物标本和识别。使用这些软件工具可以提高科学家的知名度，并使专业奖励系统现代化以支持分类专业知识的发展。但是，创建一个利用该新软件的标本属性和引用的自我维持的周期，需要通过基于收藏的研究人员以及对分类专业知识的文化变革进行更大的认识。这一变化的核心是确保收集和识别生物学研究标本的人的名字被歧义并与全球唯一的标识符相关。准确的人数据是扩展标本网络的愿景的重要组成部分，因为它们将跨机构的标本组与科学史上的事件联系起来。该项目将开发更具包容性的研究基础设施，因为所有人的分类学贡献都将得到明确的认可和可持续性，因为改善对分类学专业知识的认识将有助于在美国建立和维持这家科学的员工。Workshops将包括75名参与者，研讨会将包括12名不同的演讲者，他们将以12名不同的众多群体的收藏家为特色，以期预期的comletections Resection of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190 of 190。演讲者将提供案例研究，以说明将People-Data整合到生物学研究收藏的数字基础设施中。该研讨会将完成四个小时的教学，内容涉及使用Biotivesity Infellations Infellates Infellations Pionomia和全球生物多样性信息设施的全球唯一标识符以及与开放研究人员和贡献者ID，Wikidata和Zenodo的互动。参与者将学习如何使用这些工具作为记录其基于收藏的研究活动的一部分，并作为对分类专业知识的社区级别变化的一种方式。为了后一个目标，参与者将练习将美国标本的标本归因于代表性不足的群体的历史人员，这将提高这些科学家对生物学研究收集的知识贡献的可见性，并改善数字化美国生物学研究收集的策划。包括广泛的计划，以确保广泛参与，包括向代表性不足的群体提供外展方法，并以旅行压力和依赖护理援助的形式向参与者提供支持。研讨会和研讨会成果将进行严格的评估，并与更广泛的系统社区共享，以此作为改善分类学专业知识的模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准通过评估来获得的支持。
