Partner with us
The Civic Science Media Lab (CSML) is an independent non-profit civic science journalism collective (click here to explore our history). Our mission is to document stories about the diverse practices of civic science to inform, educate, and inspire current and the next generation of practitioners in the field, and the broader publics.
Why? The knowledge emerging within civic science fields is often siloed within its respective communities of scholars and practitioners. Structural, cultural, and incentive-based barriers limit the exchange of insights between research and practice, making it hard for practitioners to benefit from research, for researchers to learn from practice, and for communities outside these spaces to follow developments across the field.
What we do
Through civic science journalism, our community of contributing correspondents and analysts documents how civic science manifests across programs, institutions, and communities. Through thought-provoking multimedia interviews, they capture how practitioners design and implement their work in real time. They then translate these observations into shared insight that makes the work more visible, accessible, and actionable for decision-makers across the field.
About the community we serve
We serve a growing community of civic science practitioners, including scientists, science communicators, educators, policymakers, funders, and community leaders. Our work is designed to support those building and funding civic science by making emerging practices visible, sharing lessons across contexts, and providing insights that inform more effective and coordinated action. Today, our network reaches ~4,000 individuals and engages hundreds daily through 12+ multimedia programs across video, audio, and digital content.
Our partners
Our partners work with us to surface and learn from civic science practice. Together, we have developed several new multimedia programs, launched new interview series, hosted summer interns and fellows, and constructed new dashboards. Support from individual donors, sponsors, and in-kind contributors enables this work to continue and expand.
How to partner with us
Organizations partner with us in several ways, including sponsoring interview series across our 12+ programs, co-developing new programs, supporting correspondents focused on specific areas of civic science, funding database development projects, and promoting relevant opportunities to our audience (see guidance here). These partnerships collectively help us build the core infrastructure for civic science journalism.
