[LTER-education] Citizen Science Subcommittee Minutes 5/14

[Marty Downs]

Hi folks,
Sorry to miss the call last week. Sounds like it was a good one. I wanted
to call your attention to a few participatory research resources
(participatory research is the latest name for citizen science and is
intended to be inclusive of all residents, not only those with official
citizenship).

National Geographic funds participatory research and has a nice set of
resources and opportunities (deadline coming up July 10) hereL:
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/funding-opportunities/grants/what-we-fund/participatory-science/

There is a catalog of all NSF-funded citizen science projects through 2018
here: https://www.citizenscience.gov/catalog/nsf/#
I'm guessing that they are updating it under the name participatory
research--somewhere--but I haven't found that page yet. In any case, this
might be a good way to plug into an existing project.

Cheers, Marty
