What is the Civic Innovation Challenge?
CIVIC aims to accelerate the transition to the practice of foundational research and emerging technologies into communities through civic-engaged research while deepening cooperation and information sharing across sectors and regions. By addressing priorities at the local scale that are relevant across the US, CIVIC is laying the foundation for a broader and more fluid exchange of research and technology capabilities and civic priorities through joint partnerships involving civic stakeholders and the research community.
CIVIC funds projects that pilot state-of-the-art solutions over 12 months, following a six-month planning phase, and have the potential for lasting impact in the partnering community as well as the potential to be scaled and implemented in other communities. CIVIC is organized as a two-stage competition with two tracks centered around the following topic areas:
•Track A. Living in a changing climate: pre-disaster action around adaptation, resilience, and mitigation; and
•Track B. Bridging the gap between essential resources and services & community needs.
CIVIC project teams must include civic partners and stakeholders working together with researchers to develop, pilot, and evaluate the proposed project. Civic partners and stakeholders may include local, state, or tribal government officials; non-profit representatives; community organizers or advocates; community service providers; and/or others working to improve their communities.
