American Meteorological Society Summer Policy Colloquium 2018-2020; Washington, DC

该项目的目标是在科学和政策的交叉领域建立知识、经验和领导能力。美国气象学会(AMS)将在华盛顿特区举办一年一度的夏季政策座谈会，使立法和行政部门的机构领导人、政策制定者和政府领导人能够进行互动。座谈会中独特的讲师通常具有科学、政策和法律方面的跨学科背景。向与会者提供指导，使他们能够发展以鼓励信息共享和合作的方式向政策制定者和公众传播科学的技能和技术。此外，通过指导、范例和练习，与会者了解立法过程和科学信息在支持政策方面的作用。因此，科学家、政策制定者和公众之间的国家对话将变得更加高效、清晰和面向解决方案。这有利于加强对自然资源的理解和管理方面的国家政策的支持，自然资源对食物、水、能源、对危险的恢复能力和环境保护至关重要。AMS将使用NSF提供的资金来支持早期职业科学家以及来自历史上的黑人学院和少数族裔服务机构的教职员工的出席。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this project is to build knowledge, experience and leadership capacity in the intersection of science and policy. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) will conduct an annual Summer Policy Colloquium in Washington DC that will enable interactions with agency leaders, policy makers and government leaders in the legislative and executive branches. The unique set of instructors in the Colloquium typically has interdisciplinary backgrounds in science, policy, and law. The attendees are provided instruction to allow development of skills and techniques for communicating science to policymakers and the public in ways that encourage information sharing and collaboration. Additionally, through instruction, examples, and exercises, attendees learn the legislative process and the roles of science information in support of policy. As a result, the national dialogue among scientists, policymakers, and the public will become more efficient, clear, and solution-oriented. This benefits support of national policy with respect to increased understanding and management of natural resources critical to food, water, energy, resilience to hazards, and environmental protection.AMS will use funds provided by NSF to support the attendance of early career scientists as well as faculty members from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority Serving Institutions.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.
