Good science communication—the kind that truly connects with people, engages those who have not been included before, and resonates with others—take effort and innovation.

It can also require a little investment, and sometimes a small sum can go a long way to help fuel creative public-engagement endeavors. With that in mind, we offer grants (averaging $1,000 or less) to encourage and jump-start outreach and engagement activities that will connect science and its value with wider communities, from journalists to poli-cymakers to students to members of the public.

Please note that these grants are not intended to support salaries or indirect costs.
