Rita Allen Foundation releases the Civic Science Career Roadmap

The Rita Allen Foundation recently published the Civic Science Career Roadmap, developed collaboratively by the Civic Science Fellows program that it hosts. The document serves as a strategic guide for new generations of leaders at the nexus of science and civic engagement, emphasizing the need for boundary-spanning skills and inclusive problem-solving approaches. It reflects a concerted effort to integrate scientific practice into the fabric of community life, strengthening the role of discovery in societal advancement.

Questions to Keep in Mind:

• As this roadmap evolves, what will be the benchmarks for its success in shaping civic-minded scientific leaders?
• How will organizations and individuals use the roadmap to foster a more inclusive and democratic engagement with science?
• What innovative strategies can be developed from the roadmap to enhance the integration of scientific discovery with societal needs?

This is a developing story.
