In collaboration with the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society; and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Day One Project, the CITRIS Policy Lab is hosting a four-part Science Communication and Tech Policy Workshop Series that will equip you with the essential skills to effectively communicate your research to the general public, policymakers, and funders.
The groundbreaking research conducted at the University of California can help shape evidence-based policy strategies in both the public and private sectors. Our workshops empower participants to articulate the broader policy impacts of their research to the public, in grant proposals (Federal funding agencies (e.g., NSF, NIH) include “public policy impact” as part of broader impacts), and through impactful engagement with lawmakers and regulators.
Participants will receive hands-on training on how to create impactful policy deliverables that provide effective guidance to policymakers and federal and state agencies. Participants will be invited to submit a policy memo proposal to the FAS Day One Project. Those selected to publish a policy memo via the FAS Day One Project will receive additional training and writing assistance.
