These selections provide a preview of what\u2019s coming next for NASA citizen science. Note that these investigations are research grants: some of them will result in new opportunities for the public, while others will analyze or build on results from earlier citizen science projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Citizen Science Seed Funding Program (CSSFP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nspires.nasaprs.com\/external\/solicitations\/summary!init.do?solId=%7B1C8D6CAA-0518-3EA6-B60A-E4913BC48CD3%7D&#038;path=open\" rel=\"noopener\">CSSFP<\/a> aims to support scientists and other experts to develop citizen science projects and expand the pool of scientists who use citizen science techniques in their science investigations. Four divisions of NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate are participating in the CSSFP: the Astrophysics Division, the Biological and Physical Sciences Division, the Heliophysics Division, and the Planetary Science Division. Seven new investigations were recently selected through this program:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Astrophysics Division<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cosmic Cataclysms and Citizen Science: Rapidly Observing High-Energy Phenomena with a Global Telescope Network,<\/strong> PI: Thomas Esposito, SETI Institute.
