Urban Bird Gardens: Assessing the Interest of Latino Communities in Citizen Science

康奈尔大学将利用规划补助金进行前端研究，以告知针对美国六个主要城市拉丁裔家庭的主要公民科学工作。伙伴组织包括纽约恢复项目（纽约）、伊利诺斯州阿斯皮拉公司。（芝加哥）、青年政策研究所（洛杉矶）、奇卡诺斯促进事业公司（凤凰城）、休斯顿儿童博物馆（休斯顿）和佛罗里达的阿斯匹拉公司。（迈阿密）规划工作的项目交付成果包括对文化敏感的研究和随后传播研究结果。Garibay集团将创建合作伙伴社区的档案，并与潜在的项目参与者进行焦点小组，以检查对科学的态度，参与科学活动的兴趣，工具（在线鸟类识别，数据输入和数据可视化工具）和技术。 研究还将包括对项目合作伙伴以前进行的访谈中的现有数据进行分析。研究结果将提供有效的战略，让拉丁裔观众参与公民科学工作的见解。

Cornell University will utilize planning grant funds to conduct front-end research to inform a major citizen science effort targeting Latino families in six major US cities. Partnering organizations include the New York Restoration Project (New York), Aspira of Illinois, Inc. (Chicago), Youth Policy Institute (Los Angeles), Chicanos Por la Causa, Inc. (Phoenix), the Children's Museum of Houston (Houston), and Aspira of Florida, Inc. (Miami) Project deliverables for the planning effort include culturally responsive research and subsequent dissemination of findings. The Garibay Group will create profiles of partner communities and conduct focus groups with potential project participants to examine attitudes towards science, interest in participatory science activities, tools (online bird identification, data entry, and data visualization tools), and technologies. The research will also include an analysis of existing data from interviews previously conducted by project partners. The research results will provide insights into effective strategies for engaging Latino audiences in citizen science efforts.
