| Abstract | Supporting the long-term sustainability of infrastructure is an ongoing challenge for funding agencies. While infrastructure demands grow faster than the resources available to support them, there is a need to balance between supporting novel developments and the long-term maintenance of critical resources. In this talk, I will discuss strategies for leveraging limited resources and forging strategic partnerships to enhance the likelihood of resource sustainability. As an example, I will highlight the Advancing the Digitization of Biological Collections (ADBC) program, the Networked Integrated Biocollections Alliance (NIBA), and several other related activities. |
