American Meteorological Society (AMS) Summer Policy Colloquium 2003-2007; Washington, DC

该奖项支持来自代表性不足的团体和少数民族服务机构的研究生和教师参加由美国气象学会（AMS）组织的夏季政策研讨会。 学术讨论会每年一次，将大气和相关科学界的40-50名成员聚集在华盛顿，华盛顿特区，进行为期10天的科学政策沉浸式讨论。 与会者包括来自美国政府行政分支和立法部门、媒体、非政府组织（NGO）和私营企业的高级科学和政策官员。 座谈会成员完成预先指定的阅读，发展科学政策的案例研究，并参与练习，包括角色扮演，讨论和辩论。 AMS夏季政策讨论会通过为科学家和政策制定者之间的文化提供新的和不断发展的对话的手段，在大气科学（以及其他科学）中发挥了重要作用和未实现的利基。 它为了解科学数据最终用户的需求提供了一个独特的窗口，以帮助塑造社会。

This award supports the attendance and tuition of graduate students and faculty from under-represented groups and minority-serving institutions at the Summer Policy Colloquium organized by the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The Colloquium brings together 40-50 members of the atmospheric and related science communities to Washington, D.C. once each year for a ten-day immersion in science policy. Participants include high-level science and policy officials from both the executive branch and legislative branches of the US government, media, non-governmental organizations (NGO), and private industry. Colloquium members complete pre-assigned readings, develop science policy case studies, and engage in exercises including role-playing, discussion, and debate. The AMS Summer Policy Colloquium serves an important role and an unfulfilled niche in the atmospheric sciences (and other sciences as well) by providing the means for a fresh and evolving dialog between the culture of scientists and policy makers. It provides a unique window into the needs of the end-users of scientific data to help shape society.
