[Air-L] NSF Civic Innovation Challenge (CIVIC)

[Joly MacFie]

The Civic Innovation Challenge (CIVIC) is a research and action competition
designed to build a more cohesive research-to-innovation pipeline and
foster a collaborative spirit between communities and researchers. CIVIC
aims to flip the community-university dynamic by empowering communities and
researchers to jointly identify civic priorities ripe for innovation and to
address these priorities as equal partners. Together, academic and civic
partners leverage scientific and community expertise to make progress
towards addressing the themes in the two tracks specified in this
solicitation.

> CIVIC aims to accelerate the transition to practice of foundational
> research and emerging technologies and approaches into communities through
> civic-engaged research, while deepening cooperation and information sharing
> across sectors and regions. Whereas many community-university partnerships
> take years to provide tangible benefits to communities, CIVIC funds
> projects that rapidly pilot state-of-the-art technologies and ideas 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.
