Grant Description

Citizen science is a form of research that enlists the public in collecting large quantities of data across an array of environments and communities over varying spans of time. Citizen science projects have been remarkably successful and contributions from citizen scientists are considered a developing tool for expanding science knowledge and scientific literacy. In this request for applications, EPA is soliciting proposals for research relating to air and water pollution in New York City and the Virgin Islands.
