Hello Researchers,
This email is relevant to those who are interested in applying to NSF CIVIC and would like to partner with the City of San Antonio or need a letter from the city for
their proposal.
The City of San Antonio is seeking 1-2 partners to collaborate on a proposal to the NSF CIVIC solicitation (https://nsfcivicinnovation.org/).
The program has two tracks with a stage one deadline of May 5.

Preference will be given to those who are partnering with community-based organizations, other organizations, and SwRI, in addition to the city.

| 2022 CIVIC Innovation Challenge Request for Proposals The R&D League invites proposals for the NSF's 2022 CIVIC Innovation Challenge. The CIVIC Innovation Challenge is a multi-agency, federal government research
and action competition that aims to fund ready-to-implement, research-based pilot projects that have the potential for scalable, sustainable, and transferable impact on community-identified priorities. (1) CIVIC flips the community-university dynamic, asking communities to
identify civic priorities ripe for innovation and then to partner with researchers to address those priorities; (2) CIVIC focuses on research-centered solutions that are ready for piloting in and with communities on a short timescale, where real-world outcomes
can be evaluated within 12 months; (3) CIVIC requires a coalition of civic partners and stakeholders and a multi-disciplinary set of researchers to co-create and execute pilot projects. forms.office.com |
