RAPID: Challenge Platforms with a Public Intent Critical Reflections and Future Practices

例如，challenge.gov、亚利桑那州立大学的10，000个解决方案和亚利桑那州立大学的政策挑战等挑战性平台，是一种新兴方法的例子，可以在日益复杂、相互关联和资源有限的治理环境中提高公共政策制定和执行过程的效率、有效性和合法性。它旨在让声音，挖掘，授权和集中的专业知识，经验和民主盈余的广泛阵列所拥有的各种个人在治理过程中，制定创新和切实可行的解决方案，以共同的公共挑战。因此，由这笔赠款支持的研讨会旨在探索具有公共意图的参与式挑战平台的新兴机构，并为其研究和实际应用和影响开发实践社区，以了解平台的设计张力和应用，作为一个高效，有效和合法的治理过程。 研讨会包括一系列有针对性的讨论，小组讨论，圆桌会议和主旨发言人，以批判性地反思和展望参与式挑战平台研究和应用的未来。研讨会将支持以下具体目标：* 强调参与式挑战平台的研究和实践对于在日益复杂、相互关联和资源受限的环境中高效、有效和合法治理的重要性。* 以案例研究为基础，确定设计和实施参与性挑战平台以解决公共问题的障碍、机会和最佳做法。* 探索设计机制，以促进来自不同背景的问题解决者围绕共同利益和公共问题的可持续网络。* 为参与式挑战平台的研究和实践制定未来愿景，并确定下一步措施，以促进高效，有效和合法的治理过程和成果。* 汇集来自学术界、私营企业和政府组织的从业人员、研究人员和参与者。由于国会于2010年12月21日授予所有联邦机构广泛的奖励权，这些类型的方法将变得更加普遍。

Participatory challenge platforms, like challenge.gov, 10,000 solutions at Arizona State University, and the policy challenge at Arizona State University, are examples of an emerging approach that can increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and legitimacy of the public policy development and implementation process in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and resource-constrained governance environment. It seeks to give voice to, tap into, empower, and focus the vast array of expertise, experience, and democratic surplus possessed by a diversity of individuals throughout the nation in the governance process to develop innovative and practical solutions to shared public challenges. As such, the workshop supported by this grant is designed to explore the emerging body of participatory challenges platforms with a public intent and develop an community of practice for its research and practical applications and implications in an effort to understand the design tensions and applications of platforms as an efficient, effective, and legitimate governance process. The workshop consists of a series of targeted discussions, panels, roundtables, and keynote speakers to critically reflect on and envision the future of participatory challenge platforms research and applications. The workshop will support the following specific objectives: * Highlight the importance of the research and practice of participatory challenge platforms to governing efficiently, effectively, and legitimately in an increasingly complex, interconnected, and resource-constrained environment. * Identify the obstacles, opportunities, and best practices of designing and implementing participatory challenge platforms to address public problems, grounded in case studies. * Explore design mechanisms to foster sustainable networks of problems solvers from a diversity of backgrounds around shared interests and public problems. * Develop a vision for the future of and identify the next steps for the research and practice of participatory challenge platforms in facilitating efficient, effective, and legitimate governance processes and outcomes. * Bring together practitioners, researchers, and participants from academics, private industry, and governmental organizations. These types of approaches will become more ubiquitous because of the broad prize authority Congress granted to all federal agencies on December 21, 2010.
