Description
This NSF program supports the ongoing operation and maintenance of mature research infrastructure that is essential for advancing contemporary biological sciences. The program is particularly focused on sustaining cyberinfrastructure and biological living stocks that serve a broad research community. The goal is to ensure the continued availability and functionality of resources that have already demonstrated significant impact in biological research and education. Proposals should document the past impact of the resource, justify its continued need, and present a compelling case for how its sustained operation will benefit the broader scientific community.
