[Nhcoll-l] Fwd: 3D Imaging Award Opportunity- Western North American Mammals - DUE 10JAN2024

[Cody Thompson]

For those interested in utilizing CT data, please see the RFP below for
funding.  The UMMZ Mammal Division is participating in the Ranges project,
and I would be happy to chat with anyone about proposal options with our
collections.

Take care,
Cody

Mammalogists, please take a minute to consider this opportunity for
yourself, your labs, or collaborators who are conducting morphometric
and/or trait-based research on mammals of Western North America. I am happy
to answer any questions off-thread.

The Ranges Digitization Network (https://ranges-network.org/
<https://ranges-network.org/>)
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 financial support to produce imagery via µCT
scanning, diceCT, laser scanning or photogrammetry for your mammal
trait-focussed research, then this award opportunity may be for you.

Applications are now being accepted. Learn more at (
http://www.ranges-network.org/awards/
<http://www.ranges-network.org/awards/>
).

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.
