Aligned with our mission, SNAP is dedicated to sharing resources to learn and engage with science policy. We have compiled a non-exhaustive list of resources from wonderful organizations and groups we admire, pertaining to general Science Policy, fellowships and careers, and information for starting a group on university campuses.
If you have information that you believe should be included on this page, please reach out to us at snapscipolorg@gmail.com. We’d be thrilled to add it!
We recommend checking out the Civic Science Career Roadmap to help you navigate the various roles and opportunities available within the field(s)!
SNAPpers have attended AAAS’ Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering Workshop and the Advocacy Training Program by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
SNAP has outlined some steps to start a science policy group here. We are always motivated to help support this process, so we recommend that you reach out to chat with us at snapcoalition@gmail.com! Several SNAP Organizing Members have started groups at their universities and may be able to offer direct advice. If you are interested, you can also sign up for our newsletter and join SNAP as an Organizing Member for more support and assistance along this process and to help us grow and instigate meaningful change!
