National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation

The National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation (NCGRP) is a facility dedicated to collecting, safeguarding, and sharing genetic material from plants, animals, and other organisms. Its goal is to preserve biological diversity and provide resources for research, agriculture, and conservation. By storing seeds, tissues, and genetic samples, NCGRP helps ensure that valuable genetic traits are maintained for future generations, supporting sustainable agriculture, food security, and ecological resilience. It collaborates with scientists and organizations worldwide to protect biodiversity and advance scientific understanding.
