How does ADBC differ from the Improvements to Biological Research Collections Program?
The ADBC program supports innovative, collaborative proposals to digitize collections that are organized around a research question (theme, i.e., not region, clade or preservation type). There is no support for improvements to physical collections. The BRC program, however, supports improvements that secure, organize and improve accessibility of physical collections. The BRC program may also support collaborations to digitize collections representing local regions or clades.
