Science Policy State Visit Day applications - due 4/6

[Ann Skoczenski]

Dear Postdoctoral Scholars,

The MIT Science Policy Initiative is organizing and coordinating the 2025 State Visit Days (SVD) on April 14. In this tumultuous time, it is more important than ever to understand all the levers the government has that affect policy. State and local policy in particular gets less coverage but plays an incredibly essential role in the allocation of federal funds, science education/workforce development, anything urban planning, and more. Additionally, due to the lack of state-level and local engagement, your voice can be particularly powerful. During state visit day, you will get a chance to talk to people across various branches of state and local government: senators, representatives, agency executives, and more.

*** Application Deadline: Sunday, April 6th at 11:59PM EST ***
