Note: As of Fall 2012, the Public Sector Excellence database is no longer being actively updated. Please contact CLOSUP staff more more information.
CLOSUP's "Public Sector Excellence" database is intended to help spread knowledge of excellence in public sector service delivery and of innovative solutions to public sector challenges being implemented by a wide variety of organizations including state and local governments, higher education institutions, public school systems, and more. Across the country, numerous annual award programs recognize the best examples of excellence and of innovative programs and projects that address challenges facing communities of all kinds.

This CLOSUP meta-database aggregates information on winning programs from numerous award competitions across the country, including among others, the National League of Cities' "Award for Municipal Excellence," the Kennedy School's "Innovations in American Government" award, and the Alliance for Innovation's "Muehlenbeck Award for Excellence in Local Government." This database begins with awards from 2006, but new awards will be added on a regular basis. Entries in this database are determined by a set of inclusion criteria, described here.
By spreading knowledge of public sector excellence and innovation, CLOSUP hopes to help foster further innovation and creative problem solving in public organizations across Michigan and beyond. Each entry in the database includes additional contact information for both the winning program and for the awarding organization.
