The Biodiversity Institute enhances and supports research across the University community and beyond through an array of research grants, faculty, museum, and facility collaborations and statewide partnerships.
The Biodiversity Institute grant programs are funded and managed by the Institute to support basic and applied research, and projects that communicate the scope and value of biodiversity research happening at the University of Wyoming to the public.
The Wyoming Biodiversity Institute maintains the long term goal of creating a series of publications that contribute to the rigorous documentation and understanding of Biodiversity in the state of Wyoming. Through the Wyoming Natural History Publication Series, the Institute offers financial support to authors projects whose work contributes to this venture.
The Biodiversity Institute has taken a leadership role in promoting the scientific value of UW’s natural science collections to the public, to the research community, and to state decision-makers, by bringing together collections across campus to form the University of Wyoming Natural Science Collections Partnership. The mission of the partnership is to ensure growth, development, and care of the many natural science collections so that they can continue their missions to discover, document, curate, and communicate knowledge of the history of the Earth and its biota, and to make that knowledge accessible to stakeholders, including all citizens of Wyoming, regardless of location. The members of the partnership are the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (Dept. of Botany), Museum of Vertebrates (Dept. of Zoology and Physiology), Geological Museum (Dept. of Geology and Geophysics), Williams Conservatory (Dept. of Botany), Insect Museum (Dept. of Ecosystem Science and Management), Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, UW Libraries, and the BI.
