Confluence Retirement

Due to the feedback from stakeholders and our commitment to not adversely impact USGS science activities that Confluence supports, we are extending the migration deadline to January 2023.

In an effort to consolidate USGS hosted Wikis, myUSGS’ Confluence service is targeted for retirement. The official USGS Wiki and collaboration space is now SharePoint. Please migrate existing spaces and content to the SharePoint platform and remove it from Confluence at your earliest convenience. If you need any additional information or have any concerns about this change, please contact myusgs@usgs.gov. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Collaboration Forum

One of the ways to improve your CDI Statement of Interest and final proposal is to have cross-Mission Area and cross-Center collaboration. If you have an idea for a CDI proposal but are looking for collaborators in other disciplines or centers to join you, post your idea and contact information on the collaboration forum. By posting your idea there, CDI Coordinators can help facilitate connections.

Tuesday, February 6, 1:00-2:30pm Eastern Time, Add to Google Calendar

Download (optional) slide template (optional): Template (pptx)

Include somewhere on your slide:

  • Title of your submission
  • Your name
  • Your email address

Email your slide to cdi@usgs.gov by February 5, COB. Slides will be compiled, converted to PDF, and the presentation order will be sent out first thing on February 6. 

Tips

  • Don't over-clutter your slide. 
  • Practice the timing of your 1-minute pitch. You can say a lot in 1 minute if you know exactly what you are going to say.
  • Know your audience - the CDI is very diverse, so avoid specialized jargon.
  • Focus on the gap that your proposal will fill, and the benefit or lessons learned to be passed on to the CDI and the USGS.

More

  • The session will be recorded.
  • If no one on your project team can make the session, get in contact with cdi@usgs.gov.

Community Voting Results

Community voting is a factor in the proposals that advance to the Phase 2 Full Proposal phase.
Visit the Phase 1: Statements of Interest page to see the top ranked Statements of Interest from voting.
