Elementary, Secondary and Informal Education: Research News for Local NBC Newscasts -- A Planning Grant

在美国国家科学基金会的大力支持下，ScienCentral一直在开发和分发科学短篇故事，以便在当地ABC新闻广播中播出。他们现在正在制定一项计划，与全国广播公司新闻频道合作，制作有关前沿研究的故事，在全国广播公司当地电视台的新闻广播中播出。在这个规划阶段，ScienCentral将制作、发布和评估三个关于全球气候变化领域当前研究的故事。具体的计划任务包括：确定与NBC新闻合作的技术和编辑流程；对故事的主题、格式和预期频率进行形成性评估；开发可审计的成本分摊流程。该项目的编辑委员会包括PI/执行制片人、前研究科学家埃琳·奥根布劳恩；科学中心副总裁贝斯特·罗森菲尔德；新闻总监杰克·彭兰德；以及高级制片人柯特·爱泼斯坦。他们将与由NBC新闻频道高级制片人格雷格·科勒（Greg Kohler）组成的顾问小组密切合作；利昂·莱德曼，伊利诺伊理工学院战略倡议办公室；Jane Lubchenco，俄勒冈州立大学环境科学家；埃默里大学行为神经科学教育与研究整合中心副主任丹妮尔·格雷。咨询委员会的成员将审查所有部分的脚本和草图。

ScienCentral, with major support from NSF, has been developing and distributing short science stories for inclusion in local ABC news broadcasts. They are now developing a plan, in cooperation with NBC News Channel, to produce stories about cutting edge research to be carried on local NBC stations during their local news broadcasts. During this planning phase, ScienCentral will produce, distribute and evaluate three stories about current research in the area of global climate change. Specific planning tasks include: determining the technical and editorial processes for working with NBC News;conducting formative evaluations for topics, format and desired frequency of stories; and developing an auditable cost sharing process. The Editorial Board for the project includes Eliene Augenbraun, PI/Executive Producer and former research scientist; Besty Rosenfield, Vice President of ScienCentral; Jack Penland, News Director; and Curt Epstein, Senior Producer. They will work closely with an advisory panel consisting of Greg Kohler, Senior Producer, NBC News Channel; Leon Lederman, Office of Strategic Initiative, Illinois Institute of Technology; Jane Lubchenco, Environmental Scientist, Oregon State University; and Danielle Gray, Deputy Director for Emory University Integration of Education and Research, Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. Members of the advisory board will review scripts and roughcuts of all segments.
