NOAA is requesting a new generic clearance for its citizen science and crowdsourcing (CSC) projects. NOAA relies on scientific information. CSC projects allow NOAA to collect qualitative and quantitative data that help inform scientific research and monitoring, validate models or tools, support STEM learning, and enhance the quantity and quality of data collected to support NOAA’s mission. NOAA will use the information gathered under this generic clearance to support the activities listed above and might provide unprecedented avenues for conducting breakthrough research. The information collected under this generic clearance will be from voluntary participants who actively seek to participate on their own initiative through an open and transparent process and the data will be available to support the scientific research (including assessments, tools, models, etc.) of NOAA and its partners. Its partners include states, tribal or local entities, business or other for-profit organizations, and not-for-profit institutions or organizations. In collaborating with other federal agencies and/or non-federal entities, NOAA may sponsor citizen science or crowdsourcing projects to collect information that supports its mission. All CSC projects must comply with NOAA policies and the scope of this generic clearance, which includes, but is not limited to, the natural, applied, social, and cultural sciences as they apply to crowdsourcing and citizen science activities.
