Taxacom: RFP for Ranges Imaging Mini-Awards

[David Bloom]

The Ranges Network is pleased to announce the first call for the Ranges
Imaging Mini-Awards.

If you are faculty, staff, postdoc, student or researcher affiliated with
an U.S. institution and need support to produce images via ?CT scanning,
diceCT, laser scanning or photogrammetry for your *mammal trait-focussed
research*, then this award may be for you.

Applications are now being accepted. *Learn more*

Ranges Imaging Mini-Awards will enable researchers to extend their current
research by collecting internal and potentially complex trait data at the
intraspecific level that can be integrated with other specimen-level data
digitized by Ranges, such as reproduction, habitat, geographic origins, or
time. Projects focused on any aspect of morphological variation are welcome.

Ranges, funded by NSF (DBI-2228385), seeks to digitize traits from over one
million mammal specimens from 19 natural history museums, with a focus on
western North America. The project will allow researchers to build better
baselines for biodiversity and improve predictions of how mammals respond
to changing environments to address major digitization challenges, expand
the utility of specimens and use them to create new scientific knowledge.

DEADLINE: Applications must be submitted by January 10, 2024, 11:59pm
Pacific Time.
