This award supports participation of students and early-career scientists in the Summer Policy Colloquium of the American Meteorological Society. The Summer Policy Colloquium addresses the need for interaction between policy makers and researchers who have domain expertise in areas relevant to policy decisions. It provides an opportunity for researchers interested in decision support to interact with policy makers and learn about policy making. Each year the Colloquium brings 20 to 40 participants to Washington DC for two weeks of intensive interactions with scientist-leaders from the legislative and executive branches, executives from NGOs, policy analysts, science journalists, and other stakeholders working in the policy arena. In addition to in-person dialog and interaction Colloquium participants are given pre-assigned reading and work through group exercises and case studies to learn about the policy making process. Funds provided through this award support the participation of 15 graduate students and early-career scientists in the Colloquium. NSF-funded participants are selected through a competitive process, based on the applicant's potential and accomplishments and taking into account diversity, equity and inclusion.The primary broader impact of the award is the development of a cohort of researchers in discplines related to weather and climate who can provide decision support for policy decisions in these areas. Such decision support is increasingly valuable as stakeholders and decision makers at all levels of government face a growing variety of challenges related to the management of weather and climate risk. Many researchers are interested in providing decision support, but the education and experience of scientists does not adequately prepare them to perform this role.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持学生和早期职业科学家参与美国气象学会的夏季政策座谈会。 夏季政策座谈会解决了在与政策决策相关领域的领域专业知识的政策制定者与研究人员之间进行互动的必要性。 它为有兴趣决策支持的研究人员提供了与政策制定者互动并了解政策制定的机会。 每年，座谈会都会将20至40名参与者带到华盛顿特区，与立法和行政部门的科学家领袖进行了两周的密集互动，来自非政府组织的高管，政策分析师，科学记者以及在政策领域工作的其他利益相关者。除了面对面的对话和互动外，座谈会参与者还可以通过小组练习和案例研究预先分配阅读和工作，以了解制定政策制定过程。 通过该奖项提供的资金支持15名研究生和早期职业科学家参与座谈会。 根据申请人的潜力和成就，并考虑到多样性，公平和包容性，通过竞争过程选择了NSF资助的参与者。该奖项的主要更广泛的影响是与天气和气候有关的研究人员在这些领域的政策决策中提供决策支持。 随着各级政府各级的利益相关者和决策者面临与天气和气候风险管理有关的越来越多的挑战，这种决策支持越来越有价值。 许多研究人员有兴趣提供决策支持，但是科学家的教育和经验并没有充分准备他们担任这一角色。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来评估值得支持的。
