We're looking for early career researchers who want to take on key science policy issues

As the country faces critical challenges such as COVID-19, climate change, and intensified competition with U.S. leadership in science, technology, and innovation, the Federation of American Scientists is launching an Early Career Science Policy Accelerator with the National Science Policy Network (NSPN) to generate a compelling set of actionable new policy proposals that help shape the future of science policy.

This nine-week, part-time process will provide participants with guidance, feedback, and mentorship opportunities with policy veterans on how to transform a kernel of an idea into a compelling, actionable policy proposal that resonates with decision-makers in Washington.

For this joint accelerator in partnership with NSPN, we are looking to develop policy ideas with early career researchers — graduate students, postdocs, and other researchers who identify as being early in their science policy career — in order to lift up new voices and ideas.

The deadline to apply to the Early Career Science Policy Accelerator is December 15th at 11:59 PM ET. If you or anyone you know is interested in participating, please share and visit https://www.dayoneproject.org/ecr-science-accelerator to learn more and apply.
