This Project Grant award, totaling $125,020, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to Northern Arizona University (NAU).

The funding supports the development of a novel Citizen Science Cyberinfrastructure (CSCI) to enable more efficient extraction of insights from large, complex data sets across disciplines such as biodiversity, geoscience, and astronomy. Key objectives include: (1) integrating mapping infrastructure into the Zooniverse citizen science platform to accelerate data processing and curation; (2) providing an incubator hub for designing and deploying innovative citizen science projects with fast turnaround, particularly for AI training; and (3) creating cyber-pathways to existing infrastructure to facilitate responsible data and model sharing. The project leverages NSF's existing Zooniverse platform, which has nearly 3 million volunteers, to expand the capacity of research communities to utilize citizen science as a sustainable methodology. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029.
