*Please share this announcement with interested graduate students*
Each year, the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) recognizes
graduate students in the biological sciences who are demonstrating an
interest and aptitude for working at the intersection of science and policy.
Recipients of the AIBS Emerging Public Policy Leadership Award receive:
- *A trip to Washington, DC*, to participate in the AIBS Congressional
Visits Day, an annual event where scientists meet with lawmakers to
advocate for federal investment in the biological sciences, with a primary
focus on the National Science Foundation. Domestic travel and hotel
expenses are paid for the winners. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
winners will participate in a virtual advocacy event on *April 19-23,
2021* and will also have the opportunity to attend a future in-person
event.
- *Online policy and communications training*, including information on
the legislative process and trends in federal science funding, and how to
engage with policymakers and the news media.
- *Meetings with congressional policymakers* to discuss the importance
of federal investment in the biological sciences.
- *A one-year subscription to the journal BioScience* and a copy of
“Communicating Science: A Primer for Working with the Media.”
The 2021 award is open to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents
enrolled in a graduate degree program in the biological sciences, science
education, or a closely allied field. Applicants should have a demonstrated
interest in and commitment to science policy and/or science education
policy. Prior recipients, including Honorable Mentions, are not eligible
for the award.
Applications are due by *05:00 PM Eastern Time on January 15, 2021*. Learn
