Desert Botanical Garden (DBG) Will Use Funds to Establish a Cryobiorepository and Conservation Cryobank for Endangered Cactus and Agave Species, Addressing Biodiversity Loss and Climate Impact Challenges in Arid Regions. This Project Involves Acquisition of a Cutting-edge Fusion Freezer for Cryogenic Storage, Development and Presentation of Two Workshops on Cryobiotechnology and Micropropagation, and Implementation of Standardized Protocols for Sample Collection, Dna/rna Extraction, and Cryopreservation. Expected Outcomes Include a Secure Repository of High-value Genetic Material, Increased Cactus and Agave Species Representation in DBG Collections, and a Trained Network of Researchers. This Project Will Directly Benefit the Scientific Community, Conservation Institutions, and DBG’S Broader Public Audience by Safeguarding These Iconic Desert Species and Facilitating Their Future Restoration in Threatened Ecosystems.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
