Local advocacy is critical in addressing science and technology policy issues that impact our communities. As scientists, it is key to engage and disseminate evidence-based research to create sustainable change, but sometimes it can be difficult to know where to begin. During this session, recorded during the 2023 HBCU & MSI Science Policy College Tour, Dr. Paige Greenwood discussed how she used her research to conduct community engagement and advocacy initiatives on the basis of neuroscience research for underserved youth and families.
The National Science Policy Network's HBCU & MSI Science Policy College Tour introduces the field of science policy to early-career STEM students, scientists, and researchers from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges, and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). The goal of the Tour is to inspire, empower, and provide the next generation of science policy leaders with the tools to succeed and thrive in science policy, advocacy, and public discourse revolving around issues where science can be utilized to positively impact underserved populations and reduce racial disparities.
