CITI-SCIENCE
Citizen Science in Healthcare Research
Exploring the dynamics of public engagement in scientific health research
Welcome to the CITI-SCIENCE Project
CITI-SCIENCE is a research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation as part of the “Proyectos de Investigación Orientada” within the “Subprograma Estatal de Generación de Conocimiento”.
Our research explores how citizens and civil society organizations are increasingly contributing to the scientific research process in healthcare. We investigate the prevalence, characteristics, drivers, and organization of citizen science initiatives in medical and health research.
Our Focus
The project addresses three important challenges:
- Assessing the frequency and representativeness of participation in citizen science
- Understanding the motivations and barriers for engagement of both professionals and citizens
- Exploring optimal work design configurations for effective citizen science projects
