This awards provides partial support for a conference entitled, "Improving Climate Science Communication Between Scientists and the News Media" in the autumn of 2003 at the University of Rhode Island. The workshop is a one-and-one-half day workshop involving climate scientists, environmental/science journalists, journalism educators, and students to address institutional and other professional and cultural issues related to clear and concise communication of science news to broad audiences through the mass media. The goal of the workshop is to share practical information among scientists and journalists on challenges in communicating science-based news and information, and to lay the groundwork for improving science communications initially between scientists and journalists and therefore to the general public, which depends on the mass media for most of its science news. An important element of the workshop will be the intellectual merit resulting from the cross-fertilization between the disciplines of science and journalism, and an improved understanding of the mores, ethics, and accepted practices critical to each.The workshop will achieve broader impacts for society, beyond the workshop participants themselves, by ensuring that the workshop participants take part both to teach and to learn, and by ensuring their active involvement in sharing lessons learned with broad segments of their own professional peer groups. Their ability and commitment to participate in post-workshop information sharing/information transfer activities will be an important selection criterion in identifying workshop participants. In addition, workshop planners will establish mechanisms through which subsequent scientist/journalist workshops can benefit from the prior activities of this workshop, thereby avoiding reinventing the wheel.

该奖项为2003年秋季在罗得岛大学举行的题为“改善科学家与新闻媒体之间的气候科学交流”的会议提供了部分支持。该研讨会为期一天半，涉及气候科学家，环境/科学记者，新闻教育工作者和学生，以解决与通过大众媒体向广大受众清晰简洁地传播科学新闻有关的机构和其他专业和文化问题。 研讨会的目标是在科学家和记者之间分享关于传播科学新闻和信息方面的挑战的实用信息，并为改善科学传播奠定基础，首先是科学家和记者之间的科学传播，从而改善对公众的科学传播，因为公众的大部分科学新闻都依赖大众媒体。讲习班的一个重要内容是科学和新闻学科之间的相互交流所产生的知识价值，以及对道德、伦理和公认做法的更好理解，讲习班将对社会产生更广泛的影响，而不仅仅是讲习班参加者本身，确保讲习班参加者既教又学，并确保他们积极参与与其专业同行团体的广大成员分享经验教训。他们参加研讨会后信息交流/信息转让活动的能力和决心将是确定研讨会与会者的一个重要选择标准。此外，讲习班规划人员将建立机制，使以后的科学家/记者讲习班能够受益于这次讲习班以前的活动，从而避免重复劳动。
