Question:
Does the Biological Resources Discipline (BRD) use volunteers to collect data?
|
Answer: Volunteers assist on some BRD programs. In all cases, first the volunteers are carefully trained. Then they are supervised by a Federal employee while they work. In addition, to ensure quality-control, their data are checked by BRD supervisors. Volunteers must abide by the same rules, regulations, policies, and laws as BRD employees.
