Description:This Strategy aligns with the Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science Act, that highlights the unique benefits of citizen science, such as “including accelerating scientific research, increasing cost effectiveness to maximize the return on taxpayer dollars, addressing societal needs, providing hands-on learning in STEM, and connecting members of the public directly to Federal science agency missions and to each other”. It also aligns with recommendations in Section 8 of the National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2018 to improve one of the National Weather Service’s long standing citizen science programs, the Cooperative Observer Program.
