New Awards in Science Communication Totaling $600,000 Annually Launched by Schmidt Futures and the National Academies
A new award program aims to recognize and develop excellence in science communication by research scientists and by early career, local, and freelance science journalists. The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communication program will provide winners with cash awards as well as training and resources to further expand their communications skills.
One element of the program, supported by Schmidt Futures and administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, will annually confer 24 total awards — 12 awards for best science communication by research scientists and 12 awards for best science journalism. In each group, three $40,000 top prizes and nine $20,000 recognition awards will be presented. The awards will total $600,000 annually.
The goal of the new awards is to encourage high-quality science communication and build a diverse community of science journalists, research scientists, and institutions who will help society meet the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change, future pandemics, human genome editing, and other issues that can only be understood and navigated with the help of effective science communication.
Submissions accepted March 1 through April 3, 2022. For more information, visit: www.nationalacademies.org/awards/excellence-in-communication .
