NSF & NIH research on the Mammal Collection
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) fund research in a wide range of disciplines that rely heavily on museum specimens. Since 2005, over 35 projects funded by NSF or NIH have used specimens from UAMN's Mammal Collection alone, representing $29,494,344 invested in specimen-based research.
