Abstract: This survey will collect information from institutions with object-based collections that receive support from the NSF or that are used by researchers that receive support from the NSF. The survey is a response to the Office of Science and Technology Policy's request for an assessment of information regarding all object-based scientific collections maintained or financially supported by the Federal government, and ancillary materials directly related to them. As a member of the Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections, the NSF will work with the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute to collect this information.
