PARTNER WITH US
Adventure Scientists is a nonprofit organization that designs and manages large scale data collection projects in collaboration with our partners. Each project is custom-designed to ensure that you are able to access the tools and data you need.
We are proud to partner with you in the following ways:
Project Design & Feasibility Research
Feasibility, logistics, right-sizing data collection, budgeting, technology assessment, cultivating local partners and data end-users
Project Build
Training, quality assurance/quality control, permitting, equipment and technology sourcing
Volunteer Recruiting & Screening
Full Project Management
Volunteer training/management, local capacity building and community engagement
What our partners have to say:
Additional Ways We Partner
Technology audit: We make recommendations about the best field collection technologies available. Whether it’s drones, sensors, camera traps, or machine learning, we can help design the most time and cost-effective way to get you the data you need.
Media and outreach: Our projects have been featured across hundreds of national and international news outlets. Our communications team will help elevate your work across earned and owned media platforms.
Funding assistance: Through our own fundraising, we meet people who are interested in our partners and projects. We provide connections and make introductions whenever they make sense.
High-Quality Data From Nearly Anywhere at Any Scale
Our experience in project planning and management has taught us how to overcome perceived or actual issues with data quality and bias associated with many citizen science efforts. Each project begins with our design and feasibility study. During this process, we conduct thorough research to ensure that we collect the right kind and amount of data to ensure that your end goals are met.
Data Quality
We create a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) in tandem with our scientific partners, carefully outlining data collection, storage, and analysis procedures to ensure we collect high-quality data. Questions about QAPPs? Contact us.
Scale
Our model ensures that you can access the samples you need at otherwise unachievable scales, both temporally and spatially. We work closely with our partners to design protocols using spatial analysis and other research to determine sampling locations, times, intervals, and more.
Access
We work with communities and outdoor volunteers who can collect data from anywhere you need it – whether that’s a remote mountaintop, a river, or across the world’s oceans. Each project complies with local, national, and international requirements, ensuring safe and ethical data collection.
Experience
Through more than 130 projects that we have managed on behalf of our conservation partners, we have iterated our processes and perfected the art of mobilizing teams to collect high-quality data around the world.
What’s Your Data Dream?
If you could get data from anywhere in the world at any scale. what could you do? Watch this video to hear how wildlife biologist Betsy Howell, microbiologist Dr. Rusty Rodriguez, and disease ecologist Dr. Michael Gilmore partnered with Adventure Scientists to hunt for an elusive species, increase crop yields on farms impacted by climate change, and help identify the genes responsible for antibiotic resistance.
Our Project Selection Criteria
We are selective about the projects in which we invest. This ensures we’re meeting our mission to advance critical environmental research. Our criteria are:
The project must address an environmental issue to which advancing a solution has previously been data-limited.
There must be a clear need for outdoor or traditional skills to collect the data.
We are especially interested in working with partners whose research advances the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
