Monica Ramirez	2017	Democratizing Science: Developing Tools to Effectively Evaluate Co-Created Citizen Science Efforts in Rural Mining Towns	Citizen science Community-engaged research Impacts Resource extraction activities Outcomes Evaluation Public participation in scientific research Volunteer monitoring	To date, only a limited number of co-created citizen science (CS) projects where community members are involved in most or all steps of the scientific process have been, and even less in conjunction with risk communication. Concomitantly, there is a dire need to assess and standardize the evaluation of CS programs. Using a mixed method approach and combining quantitative and qualitative assessment tools, this project will evaluate potential differences in knowledge of contaminate fate and transport and environmental pollution and understanding of governmental environmental policy and regulations, as well as internal and external motivations and self-efficacy for environmental action and learning and performing science. This information is critical to move citizen science efforts forward and to determine whether such a project co- produces environmental monitoring, exposure assessment, and risk data in a form that will be directly relevant to the participant's lives and increases the community’s involvement in environmental decision- making.
