Assunto: IBM Citizenship invites Grant Proposals under the Smarter Cities Challenge 2012
Para: cmd...@googlegroups.com, posgv2011 <posg...@googlegroups.com>


The Smarter Cities Challenge is an initiative of IBM Citizenship
launched in 2010 to address the challenges that 100 competitively
selected cities in the world face. IBM uses the skills and expertise
of its teams of talented employees in this initiative to address the
challenges that a specific city in the world faces. Last year IBM
Citizenship sent its teams to seven different cities before launching
the 2011 grant process.

In this context, IBM Citizenship is currently inviting grant proposals
from cities around the world under the Smarter Cities Challenge 2012.

Selection Criteria

Applications will be evaluated for the strength of the proposal and
potential for a Challenge grant to make a positive impact.

To measure the strength of a proposal, the review team will look for
proposals that:

   Clearly outline a problem or opportunity to explore rather than a
solution to be implemented
   Provide evidence that the proposal is connected to the top
priorities and challenges of city and community leadership;
   Emphasize efforts to address cross-system or services challenges
to align with the notion that cities are composed of ‘systems of
systems’.

To measure the potential impact of a project, the review team will
look for applicants that:

   Champion a pressing, substantive topic that if addressed would
tangibly affect the lives of their citizens.
   Demonstrate strong, dynamic leadership with tract records of
innovation and accomplishments
   Commit to collaboration and access, including willingness to
provide access to key stakeholders and existing efforts to promote
open data.

Application Procedure

The application consists of a fillable PDF form which can be uploaded
to the Smarter Cities Challenge website upon completion. In addition
to the form, each applicant is required to submit a brief letter from
the Mayor, or equivalent executive officer of the municipal government
affirming the validity of the submission.

Applications will be accepted in the following languages: English,
French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese.
Only general-purpose governing bodies may apply for the Smarter Cities
Challenge – special districts (such as port authorities, school
districts or utility districts) are not eligible for the program at
this time. After uploading a proposal, applicants will receive an
email confirming their submission.

Last date for submitting the proposal is December 16, 2011.
