The GovLab and MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Opening Governance have developed and launched the Network of Innovators; expert skill-sharing platform. NoI makes easily searchable the know-how of innovators on topics ranging from opening up data, developing prize-backed challenges and use of crowdsourcing for public good. Platform users answer questions about their skills and experiences, creating a profile that enables them to be matched to those with complementary knowledge to enable mutual support and learning.<ref>{{Cite web|title = FACT SHEET: Administration Celebrates Five-Year Anniversary of Challenge.gov with Launch of More than 20 New Public- and Private-Sector Prizes|url = https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/10/07/fact-sheet-administration-celebrates-five-year-anniversary-challengegov|website = whitehouse.gov|access-date = 2016-02-12}}</ref> |
