Alliance Discussion with Research!America Civic Engagement Awardees
May 29 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
Join us on Thursday, May 29th, at noon E.T. for an Alliance Discussion with Research!America Civic Engagement Awardees. Participants from Research!America’s Civic Engagement Microgrant Program and Public Engagement Training Content Microgrant Program will share their experiences developing and implementing innovative projects that build relationships and promote dialogue between scientists and non-scientists in the public. In the seven years since its inception, Research!America’s Civic Science Initiative has supported nearly 150 projects. The initiative empowers STEM graduate students, professional students, and postdoctoral researchers to address problems at the intersection of science and society and foster connections with public officials, community leaders, and the public to catalyze meaningful change in their local communities.
