AMS Summer Policy Colloquium 2012-2014

这是一个支持美国气象学会夏季政策座谈会的项目。该计划的目标是为个别科学家和整个地球科学在科学和政策的交叉点上培养知识、经验和领导能力。讲习班参与者一般由30名职业生涯早期到中期的研究人员和研究生组成。该计划使参与者接触到与科学和科学政策有关的各种问题，包括：1)在制定研究计划时协调科学机会和国家需求；2)分配和管理科学资源；3)将科学和知识纳入政策制定和国家议程；4)增强他们倾听和理解的能力，以及教育和激励其他科学家、政策制定者、科学和以科学为基础的服务的用户和普通公众的能力；5)了解科学研究和科学领导的特殊伦理层面和要求；以及6)了解他们的科学对国家安全的影响。课程讲师是科学家和其他具有重要政策经验的人，这是在华盛顿特区举行的为期10天的研讨会上与研讨会参与者分享的。促进研究人员、政策分析员和实践者之间的互动对这两个群体都有重大好处。把重点放在职业生涯早期的个人，特别是研究生，也是该项目的一个优势，为这些人提供了他们共同努力解决科学研究发挥作用的重要社会问题所需的工具。AMS政策研讨会已经为研究和科学政策社区服务了十多年，其影响可以从它的校友(现在总共有400多人)现在担任的有影响力的职位上观察到。

This is a program to support for the American Meteorological Society Summer Policy Colloquium. The goal of this program is to build knowledge, experience and leadership capacity in the intersection of science and policy for individual scientists and for the geosciences as a whole. The workshop participants generally consist of 30 early to mid-career researchers and graduate students. The program exposes the participants to variety of issues related to science and science policy, including: 1) reconciling scientific opportunities and national needs in developing research programs; 2) allocating and managing resources for science; 3) incorporating science and knowledge into policy formulation and the national agenda; 4) strengthening their ability to listen to and understand, as well as educate and inspire other scientists, policymakers, users of science and science-based services, and the general public; 5) understanding the special ethical dimensions and demands of scientific research and scientific leadership; and 6) building understanding of the implications of their science for national security. Course instructors are scientists and others with significant policy experience, which is shared with the workshop participants during a 10-day colloquium in Washington, DC. Facilitating the interaction among researchers and policy analysts and practitioners is a significant benefit to both groups. The focus on early career individuals, especially the graduate students, is also a strength of the project, providing these individuals with the tools they will need to work together to address important societal problems in which scientific research plays a role. The impacts of the AMS Policy Colloquium, which has been serving the research and science policy communities for more than ten years, can be observed in the influential positions that its alumni (now totaling more than 400 individuals) now hold.
