NSF research supported

NSF-funded research supported by Genomic Resources

    Each year, scientists from all over the world borrow samples from the museum's Genomic Resources for their research, much of which is supported by grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Below are just some of the NSF-funded projects that have been supported by loans from Genomic Resources over the past decade.  Collectively they represent over $16.8M in NSF awards.
    NSF also funds improvements to the museum's collections through competitive grants awarded to curators; these are not included here.
