Washington, DC (January 31, 2022) – 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. 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.

“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,” said Rashada Alexander, STPF Director. Dr. Alexander will author the cover memo for the summer standard issue, drawing attention to the unique role of early career researchers in advancing evidence-based policy.
 
The partnership helps JSPG and STPF advance a shared mission of developing the next generation of leaders in science and technology policy and enabling them to develop and execute relevant and timely policy solutions. Hosted at the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society, the AAAS STPF program has engaged thousands of scientists and engineers to contribute first-hand to the policymaking process via yearlong fellowships in the Federal government. As part of this mission, JSPG fosters training and professional development of the next generation through publishing early career work in science policy in a variety of formats, and elevating the ideas put forth in publications through international platforms.

“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,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO & Managing Publisher.

As part of this partnership, JSPG and STPF will co-host a science policy writing workshop to help authors prepare their submissions to the standard issue, as well as a webinar with STPF fellows who have also been part of JSPG to highlight the value of both organizations in advancing career development for the next generation of science and technology policy professionals. More information on these events will be provided at a later point.

Amid a global pandemic, a rapidly deteriorating climate, an intensified global national security and digital environment, coupled with deep social unrest, the need for students, policy fellows, and early career researchers of all academic and professional backgrounds to shape the world’s policy and governance structures around science, technology, and innovation has never been greater.
 
Hosted at the world’s largest general science society, the STPF program has helped thousands of scientists and engineers learn about and contribute first-hand to the policymaking process via yearlong fellowships in the federal sector. JSPG and STPF share a mission of connecting science with policy and fostering a network of science and engineering leaders prepared to develop and execute solutions to address societal challenges. 
 
As part of the partnership, STPF and JSPG will co-host a webinar highlighting how both organizations have advanced the career development of many researchers. “Above all, the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship is a highly impactful, educational opportunity, so partnerships with organizations like JSPG really help move our mission forward,” said Dr. Jennifer Pearl, STPF Director. Dr. Pearl will author the cover memo to frame the summer standard issue, drawing attention to the unique role of researchers in advancing sound science policy.
 
“We are pleased to partner with such an important and powerful catalyst for scientists and engineers to contribute to public policy. The AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellows have driven impact all across government for decades, and JSPG looks forward to advancing our mutual goals,” said Shalin Jyotishi, Chief Executive Officer of the Journal of Science Policy & Governance.
 
“As a former Editor-in-Chief for JSPG and an STPF alumnus, I could not be more delighted to see these two organizations partner together to address critical science policy issues during these turbulent times. Given their synergistic commitments to advance science policy, this partnership can provide a platform for science policy professionals to engage in urgent public policy conversations,” said Lida Beninson, a Senior Program Officer at the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine who serves on the JSPG Governing Board.
