Are you a science graduate student looking to make a difference in science
policy and funding? The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is
now accepting applications for the 2025 Emerging Public Policy Leadership

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:

   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. The event will be held over three
   days in the spring of 2025 (likely in April). Domestic travel and hotel
   expenses are paid for the winners.
   - *Policy and communications training*, including information on the
   legislative process, 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 online subscription* to the journal BioScience.

The 2025 award is open to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents
