National Geographic Society: Seeking Proposals for Democratizing Science

Request for Proposals: UNDP GEF Small Grants Programme in Cambodia

Deadline: 4 April 2018

National Geographic Society is seeking proposals for its program entitled “Democratizing Science” to create and execute new and unique digital applications as tools to create community building crowd-sourced experiential learning that delivers scientific outputs and impacts leading to advanced scientific understanding and conservation outcomes.

Projects should focus on building new digital applications, transforming existing applications and products, or utilizing current technologies to design and implement crowd-sourced data collection and/or learning experiences. Proposed projects should explore how digital tools like cameras, drones, live streaming services, and digital imagery might be transformed into group opportunities that address real world questions, strengthen science literacy skills, and lead to actions in science and conservation.

National Geographic has long been a global leader in crowd sourced citizen science, with endeavors such as BioBlitz, Global Xplorer, the Genographic Project, and the Valley of the Khans Project. The NatGeo Labs now seeks to inspire, empower, and support a new generation of citizen scientists, digital explorers, and change-makers by creating better and richer citizen science learning opportunities for all ages.
