idiginfo projects institute for digital information and scientific communication skip to main content main menu home projects news team contact idiginfo projects idigbio project homepage since 2011 idigbio has served as the us national science foundation s national resource for advancing digitization of biodiversity collections digitization in this context means the creation of digital data and media e g digital images about biodiversity specimens these specimens include insects on pins fish in jars fossils in drawers and plants on sheets and are critical to research that puts present day distribution in context and models the future of earth s biome these collections can be found in such various institutional settings as museums botanical gardens universities field stations government research centers and elsewhere idigbio has historically been composed of five domains with four at university of florida and the fifth the digitization workforce development and participatory science domain at florida state university institute for digital information and scientific communication fsu s idigbio activities focus on increasing the rate scope efficiency quality and downstream fitness for use of digital data creation about specimens and collecting events identifying and building core data creation and management competencies among biodiversity collections staff and building support for digitization data management and workforce development among biodiversity collections administrators to sustain the activities the fsu idigbio domain accomplishes its goals through leadership and participation in a mix of deliverables including workshops symposia conferences webinars working groups white papers peer reviewed papers professional meeting talks and posters professional organization liaisons and online content idiginfo director austin mast is co pi on the current idigbio phase 3 grant 2021 26 20 million with four co pis from uf s florida museum of natural history and uf s advanced computing and information system s laboratory as well as important new collaborators from the university of kansas biodiversity institute and natural history museum the grant supports graduate students as well as three full time staff at idiginfo for more information on the idigbio phase 3 grant visit https nsf gov awardsearch showaward awd_id 2027654 read more about this project digitization academy project homepage the digitization academy is a reformulation of the professional development offerings from idigbio packaging these into a set of complementary recurring courses on high value topics for those creating and using digital data about biodiversity since 2021 the academy has offered 12 hour courses such as introduction to biodiversity specimen digitization and 2 hour courses such as content creation for immersive media focused on biodiversity our core strategy involves combining three things in each course 1 our systematic overview of the topic provides a foundation 2 participants sharing animates the topic with motivation and nuance and 3 an expert panel on the topic identifies the leading edge of what is possible in 2025 the course catalog involves at seven offerings including the popular spanish language version of our introductory course idiginfo workforce development manager with idigbio kalina jakymec manages the digitization academy and idiginfo digitization resources manager with idigbio fritz pichardo marcano teaches the spanish language version of courses idiginfo director austin mast teaches in each of the english language versions of courses idiginfo application developer robert bruhn maintains the digitization academy software read more about this project wedigbio project homepage the worldwide engagement for digitizing biocollections wedigbio project provides resources for biodiversity research collections to effectively and creatively engage their local communities and global internet users in digitization of specimens and associated content especially during two annual wedigbio events with an emphasis on increasing the science literacy of participants growing the variety of science contributors and expanding the relevance of collections to solving humanity s grand challenges it leverages the easily understood deeply historical biodiversity specimen collecting process the visually compelling data laden specimens the straightforward digitization activities and the engaging stories of discovery enabled by the specimens and digital data to engage an ever expanding group of public participants collection professionals educators and others in activities that further biodiversity research conservation and management idiginfo director austin mast currently serves as co chair of the wedigbio board and served as a founder of this collaboration that has included the smithsonian institution the australian museum the paris national museum of natural history and many other organizations idiginfo application developer robert bruhn maintains wedigbio software including the event dashboard the first wedigbio event was held in 2015 read more about this project biospex project homepage biospex is a base camp for launching advertising and managing targeted efforts to digitize the world s 3 billion biodiversity research specimens in ways that involve the public such specimens include fish in jars plants on sheets fossils in drawers insects on pins and many other types digitization is a broad reference to creating digital data about the physical specimens and includes things like recording the what when where from the specimen label or describing the life stage of the specimen at time of collection biospex enables you to package projects in one or a series of digitization expeditions launch the expeditions at crowdsourcing tools widely recruit others to participate and layer resources on the experience to advance science literacy in the end you can download the new data for specimen curation research conservation natural resource management public policy or other activities idiginfo director austin mast serves as project lead for biospex and idiginfo application developer robert bruhn maintains the biospex software read more about this project former idiginfo projects military suicide research consortium project homepage the department of defense assistant secretary of defense health affairs from the defense health program enhancement dhpe awarded a 17 million federal grant to florida state university and the denver veterans affairs medical center to establish the department of defense military suicide research consortium msrc the consortium is the first of its kind to integrate dod and civilian efforts in implementing a multidisciplinary research approach to suicide prevention idiginfo represents core b the information management scientific communications core of the project core b has knowledge information and findings through a variety of methods appropriate for decision makers practitioners and others who are accountable for ensuring the mental health of military personnel directed by idiginfo the goals of core b include a rapid response function so that queries from decision makers and others of the msrc will be answered in an efficient and timely manner technical assistance and support for decision makers and others is an integral aspect of this msrc function this aspect of msrc warehouses knowledge about suicidal behavior in general gathered in part by core c so that military issues can be informed in a comprehensive manner read more about this project rapid pandemic response the us national science foundation awarded idiginfo director austin mast a 200 000 grant from the rapid response research funding mechanism to enhance data about the world s 90 000 horseshoe bat specimens horseshoe bats harbor a variety of coronaviruses the closest viral relative to sars cov 2 the virus responsible for the covid 19 pandemic discovered to date was found in a horseshoe bat the project is among other things mapping historical horseshoe bat collection locations and has found that about 28 of the records represent extensions of known species distributions the project s data and protocols are shared at zenodo and the latter will serve as a template for digital data enhancement during future crisis responses e g in the face of an oil spill the award is a collaboration with the head of biodiversity informatics and data science at yale university s peabody museum of natural history
