RFP - RFP - Information Technology |
This project is a first step in a major initiative that is intended to ultimately lead to positive results for the Great Lakes such as decreased invasions of exotic species, less harmful runoff from farms and cities, and reduced air and water pollution. The team seeks to begin the redevelopment of the Great Lakes Information Network (GLIN) by launching an innovation platform called “GLIN Labs” that will create software, help users create new information products, and host a small set of strategy experiments for what GLIN should become. In this project, the team will launch GLIN Labs by upgrading how the network data is made available and launch a series of design and piloting workshops to explore the potential capabilities of a re-energized GLIN. The team will revise its strategic and operating plans for GLIN to incorporate what has been learned in this work and pursue next steps in a future proposal(s). |
