The National Academies of Sciences' Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology (BCST) and Board on Science Education (BOSE) are collaborating on a three-year project to develop a framework for effective chemistry communications, outreach, and education in informal settings. The initiative will include a "landscape" study that will synthesize lessons learned from practice along with education and learning science research about chemistry learning and teaching in informal and formal settings. The overall process will define a set of principles for engaging the public with chemistry and embed these principles into a broad framework that chemists and informal science education professionals could use to identify a set of effective strategies for a given audience and a given educational or communication goal. The guidance and tools resulting from this activity, which is a chemistry-specific case study, should be more generally applicable to science and engineering communications, informal education and outreach. Findings are also likely to apply to aspects of formal education.

美国国家科学院化学科学与技术委员会(BCST)和科学教育委员会(BOSE)正在合作开展一项为期三年的项目，以制定一个有效的化学交流、外联和非正式环境下的教育框架。该倡议将包括一项“景观”研究，该研究将综合从实践中吸取的经验教训，以及关于非正式和正式环境下的化学学习和教学的教育和学习科学研究。整个过程将确定一套让公众接触化学的原则，并将这些原则嵌入一个广泛的框架，化学家和非正式科学教育专业人员可以用来确定一套针对特定受众和特定教育或传播目标的有效策略。这项活动是一项专门针对化学的个案研究，其所产生的指导和工具应更普遍地适用于科学和工程传播、非正式教育和外联。研究结果也可能适用于正规教育的各个方面。
