AIBS has just released the application for the 2016 Emerging Public
Policy Leadership Award. The award recognizes graduate students in
the biological sciences who have demonstrated initiative and
leadership in science policy.
Award recipients receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, DC to
meet with policymakers about federal support for the biological
sciences. The program includes a day of policy and communications
training and the opportunity to network with other scientists.
Past award winners have cited their participation in the program as
fundamental in shaping their career trajectory. You can read about
