Civic Science Funding Landscape

The Civic Science Funding Landscape Dashboard is an experimental platform that is attempting to map the global ecosystem of entities that have historically supported or are currently supporting civic science (e.g., public engagement, science communication, science outreach, informal science education, etc.) scholarship and practice through sponsorships, grants, and various other types of awards.

The information presented is derived from publicly available sources, including organization websites and databases. This ongoing mapping effort began in 2022 and led to the first publication titled “Distribution of the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Informal STEM Learning Awards (AISL) between 2006-21” on BioRxiv which was followed up with the release of the dashboard.

The first page of the dashboard showcases the organizations and the second page of the dashboard offers a deeper dive into the individual grants that have been funded by different organizations.
