«Civic science is not merely about scientists seeking dialogue with the public. It is not just about creating regulatory processes with as much public input as possible. A culture of civic science requires both of these—and much more. It requires contributions from the academic community, from organizations that have made it their mission to enable a better dialogue between science and society, from patient groups and other affected stakeholders, from religious groups, from diverse populations, and from policy leaders. It requires a difficult, broad-based negotiation of moral, financial, and other societal trade-offs alongside a collective investigation of scientific potential. And to succeed, a culture of civic science requires investments from philanthropic organizations to seed and sustain work with inclusive engagement across sectors and communities.»
