Science Journalism Program for the Arctic

这个提议是为北极科学的科学记者培训奖学金提供多年的资助。在过去的17年里，科学新闻项目一直通过海洋生物实验室运作，但一直是在一个特别的基础上获得资助。该提案将增加参与该计划并接受北极科学培训的记者数量，并提供三年的持续资金，以扩大该计划的北极领域部分。参与的记者将在伍德霍尔MBL举办的“动手实验课程”中接受环境科学方面的培训，然后他们将前往阿拉斯加的Toolik Lake LTER进行大约10天的科学项目。该项目得到了记者的大力支持，并通过参与者的北极科学文章得到了证明。

This proposal is to provide multi-year funding for a science journalists training fellowship in Arctic sciences. The Science Journalism Program has been in operation through the Marine Biological Laboratory for the past 17 years but has been funded on an ad-hoc basis. This proposal would increase the number of journalists that can participate in the program and that receive training in Arctic sciences, as well as provide three years of continuous funding in order to expand the Arctic field section of the program. The participating journalists will receive training in the environmental sciences in a "hands-on laboratory course" held at the MBL in Wood Hole, then they would travel to the Toolik Lake LTER , Alaska for approximately 10 days to participate in on going scientific projects. This program has had strong support from journalists and has proven results through the participant's articles on Arctic science.
