> In this call, GBIF invites proposals in two categories of grants.
>
>    - *National biodiversity data mobilization grants* that establish or
>    strengthen national biodiversity information facilities
>    <http://www.gbif.org/resource/80925> and to increase the biodiversity
>    data available about the country to respond to national priorities. Up to
>    €40,000 will be made available per national grant.
>    - *Small biodiversity data mobilization grants* that mobilize
>    biodiversity data relevant for biodiversity conservation priorities, with a
