Summer Standard Issue Call for Submissions
The importance of early career contributions to evidence-based policy cannot be overstated. As an organization that elevates early career voices, JSPG is thrilled to partner with AAAS STPF on this standard issue, which seeks to bring the ideas of the next generation to the forefront and provide them with the educational tools needed to put these ideas into action.
— Adriana Bankston, CEO & Managing Publisher, Journal of Science Policy & Governance
Partnerships with organizations like JSPG are an important part of the path forward in the STPF mission to cultivate future generations of science policy leaders.
— Rashada Alexander, AAAS STPF Director
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science & Technology Policy Fellowships program (STPF) are pleased to partner on a call for papers leading up to the 2022 JSPG summer standard issue.
In the midst of a global pandemic, evidence-based policymaking is critical for our future, and the views of the next generation in shaping the policy landscape are more important now than ever. JSPG and AAAS STPF share the mission of developing the next generation of leaders in science and technology policy, and enabling them to develop and execute relevant, timely and efficient policy solutions.
We invite students, postdocs, policy fellows, early career researchers and young professionals in science policy to contribute their ideas on the future of policymaking on a number of broad topics that address important societal challenges. Submission deadline: May 22, 2022.
