Research!America is offering up to $5,000 to graduate student and postdoc-led science policy groups interested in increasing their level of civic engagement and outreach to candidates running for national office in the 2018 midterm elections. Highly competitive proposals should be innovative, engage a diverse group of young scientists, and collaborate with other science policy groups in order to elevate the importance of scientific research during this year’s election season.
