Confluence Retirement

In an effort to consolidate USGS hosted Wikis, myUSGS’ Confluence service is scheduled for retirement on January 27th, 2023. 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.

Disclaimer: This wiki page is not an official list of COVID-19 resources and is not intended to endorse any non-governmental product, service, or entity. The purpose of this page is to provide examples of different types of open innovation efforts emerging in response to COVID-19. For official COVID-19 information, please visit: Coronavirus.gov

The following is a curated list of links to novel coronavirus COVID-19 open innovation efforts and other interactive dashboards, maps, and visualizations from the usual and unusual players, as well as other spontaneous open innovation efforts around the world. Federal agency acronyms and other source information are included in parenthesis. For the Community for Data Integration (CDI) members with login access, feel free to update this page with resources you know of or provide comments below with any questions, comments, or feedback (such as how to best organize, display, and tag each resource as the current categorization is rough). Hopefully these COVID-19 open innovation resources inspire similar work at USGS and CDI  in terms of how we integrate and communicate data, how we understand and communicate risk, and how we contribute and use open innovation efforts that can inform the decisions we all are having to make in our professional and personal lives right now in this global crisis.
