Civic Science Fellows

What it offers: A fellowship program building an interdisciplinary network of leaders advancing “civic science” — integrating science, community engagement, and evidence-based collaboration. Fellows join a cross-sector cohort that may include journalists, scientists, community practitioners, content creators, public-interest organizations, and funders.

Who it’s for: Journalists, bench and social scientists, community-facing practitioners, content creators, and others working to strengthen connections between science and diverse communities.

Focus: Developing human-centered, evidence-based approaches that embed science within civic life and ensure broader public participation in scientific discourse and decision-making.

Amount/value: Varies by fellowship cohort (details provided during open calls).
