Citizen science projects engage members of the general public in professionally directed research and participatory action research projects that investigate local environmental issues. The Cornell University - Laboratory of Ornithology is requesting funding to support a national conference and the development of a web-based Citizen Science Toolkit to inform these programs. The Toolkit will provide a framework for scientists and educators to develop, implement and evaluate independent citizen science projects. Deliverables include an invitational conference where best practices will be identified, in addition to the electronic toolkit that will include a Citizen Science Manual and instruments for assessing the effectiveness of projects. A virtual community of educators that develop and implement citizen science projects in a variety of STEM areas will be created. It is anticipated this work will improve the quality of citizen science projects across the country.

公民科学项目促使普通公众参与专业指导的研究和参与性行动研究项目，调查当地环境问题。康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室正在申请资金，以支持一次全国会议和开发一个基于网络的公民科学工具包，为这些项目提供信息。该工具包将为科学家和教育工作者开发、实施和评估独立的公民科学项目提供一个框架。可交付成果包括一次邀请性会议，会上将确定最佳做法，此外还有电子工具包，其中将包括《公民科学手册》和用于评估项目有效性的工具。将创建一个由教育工作者组成的虚拟社区，在各种STEM领域发展和实施公民科学项目。预计这项工作将提高全国公民科学项目的质量。
