The COVID Information Commons (CIC) was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2020 to develop a public access portal to facilitate the discovery of COVID-related researchResearch. The goal was to enable knowledge sharing and collaborationCollaboration across NSF-funded COVID-related projects to accelerate researchResearch and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19COVID-19 pandemicPandemic. The success of the CIC as a portal and community, as well as the growth in COVID-19COVID-19 pandemicPandemic-related researchResearch, led to the approval of a CIC-Extension (CIC-E) grant in 2021. With this extension, additional COVID-related researchResearch projects from NSF- and National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded researchers were added to the CIC, enabling cross-agency collaborationCollaboration. The CIC has served as a valuable resource for thousands of researchers, students, and decision-makers in government, academia, nonprofits, and industry to collaborate and accelerate the most promising COVID researchResearch. This chapter describes the goal, process, and impact of the CIC as a researchResearch portal and collaborative community, presenting it as a role model for future societal challenges that can be addressed with scientific researchResearch and researcher engagement.

摘要

The COVID Information Commons (CIC) was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2020 to develop a public access portal to facilitate the discovery of COVID-related researchResearch. The goal was to enable knowledge sharing and collaborationCollaboration across NSF-funded COVID-related projects to accelerate researchResearch and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19COVID-19 pandemicPandemic. The success of the CIC as a portal and community, as well as the growth in COVID-19COVID-19 pandemicPandemic-related researchResearch, led to the approval of a CIC-Extension (CIC-E) grant in 2021. With this extension, additional COVID-related researchResearch projects from NSF- and National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded researchers were added to the CIC, enabling cross-agency collaborationCollaboration. The CIC has served as a valuable resource for thousands of researchers, students, and decision-makers in government, academia, nonprofits, and industry to collaborate and accelerate the most promising COVID researchResearch. This chapter describes the goal, process, and impact of the CIC as a researchResearch portal and collaborative community, presenting it as a role model for future societal challenges that can be addressed with scientific researchResearch and researcher engagement.
