Funds from ASCB’s Public Engagement Grants may be used to pay for materials, supplies, marketing, and salaries for science outreach projects beginning in the summer or fall of 2020 and ending in the spring of 2021 or earlier. Grantees will also be offered travel funds to attend conferences and obtain one-on-one assistance with project evaluation from start to finish. Women and people from under-represented minorities are encouraged to apply. Funding for ASCB’s Public Engagement Grants are provided by the Science Sandbox initiative of the Simons Foundation.
