Scientist Sentinels: Civic Engagement and Leadership Program

This program brings together scientists working at the nexus of environment and civic engagement to advance the role of science in the United States, inspire their peers, and support evidence-based decision making at the local level and beyond. 

When scientists are at the table alongside local community decision makers, we get more informed solutions that have a greater chance of success. We are growing a network of leaders who bring their whole selves to their science and engagement, and who apply their diverse perspectives to solving urgent challenges.  By engaging with community leaders, resource managers and policy makers, scientists can advance durable, innovative solutions that build a better future for the United States and its diverse peoples and environments.
