Washington, DC (February 7, 2022) – Congratulations to JSPG CEO Adriana Bankston, who was selected as an Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) Fellow for 2022-2023.

The goal of the ARIS Fellows program is to increase the quality and availability of scholarship and resources about research impacts through projects that synthesize existing scholarly work or develop small-scale innovative scholarship in research impact practices. This year’s class of ARIS Fellows will focus on a number of priorities related to workforce readiness and science communication practices in broader impacts.

“The ARIS community brings together professionals with a rich diversity of backgrounds and professional practices. The suite of 2022 Fellows projects reflects that diversity,” said Julie Risien, PhD, Associate Director of the STEM Research Center at Oregon State University and Co-Investigator of ARIS.
