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加美国气象学会夏季政策研讨会。 夏季政策座谈会解决了决策者与在政策决定相关领域具有专门知识的研究人员之间互动的需要。 它为对决策支持感兴趣的研究人员提供了与决策者互动并了解决策的机会。 每年，学术讨论会将20至40名与会者带到华盛顿，与立法和行政部门的科学领导人、非政府组织的执行人员、政策分析人员、科学记者和在政策竞技场工作的其他利益攸关方进行为期两周的密集互动。除了面对面的对话和互动之外，研讨会的参与者还将获得预先指定的阅读，并通过小组练习和案例研究来学习政策制定过程。 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加学术讨论会。 国家科学基金会资助的参与者是通过竞争过程选择的，基于申请人的潜力和成就，并考虑到多样性，公平性和包容性。该奖项的主要更广泛的影响是发展一批与天气和气候相关的学科研究人员，他们可以为这些领域的政策决策提供决策支持。 随着各级政府的利益攸关方和决策者面临越来越多的与天气和气候风险管理有关的挑战，这种决策支持越来越有价值。 许多研究人员对提供决策支持感兴趣，但科学家的教育和经验并不足以让他们做好充分的准备来履行这一角色。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
