Citizen Science is based in North Carolina and was co-founded by Arizona State professor Darlene Cavalier. Currently, Citizen Science allows users to contribute data to a number of projects for free as well as allowing access to data for research projects. Data is collected by citizens using smartphones and data collection instruments for each respective project. Air quality monitors, soil test kits, and similar mobile devices are provided by the organization. After the data has been collected, citizens upload the data they collected to a database that is accessible to all for the purpose of projects and research.
