2023 Digital Data: Discussion Session 2 - Day 1, Biological Collection Action Center can be Engaging

The collections community is in the midst of a series of webinars, workshops, and focus groups focusing on Envisioning a Biological Collections Action Center as proposed in the recent NASEM report and authorized by the U.S. Congress in summer 2022 as part of the CHIPs and Science Act. We have conducted three webinars and one workshop to date and are very interested in including a range of voices from the biodiversity sciences community, including researchers and other users of digital biodiversity data. We aim to bring together U.S. collections and research professionals to consider how such a center could engage with and provide services to researchers to enhance the quality of collections-based researcher and to sustain U.S. biodiversity collections. We are scheduling this in-person focus/discussion group during this year's Digital Data Conference to broaden the input into the Action Center concept.
Focus Group Moderators: Libby Ellwood, Gil Nelson, John Bates
