Climate & Health Communications & Research Program – Application to attend workshops for researchers
The Climate & Health Communications and Research program, at the University of Massachusetts Boston, is offering 10 seats to researchers and faculty at UMB and at the Climate Change Institute (UMaine). Attendees selected will participate in workshops dedicated to training scientists in best practices when connecting with journalists and communications professionals, especially in the event of a publication, but also as a routine part of scientists' professional lives, serving as expert commentators on news stories. Attendees have to be affiliated with UMB or CCI and must commit to attending 5 workshops (4 remote, 1 in person) in spring-summer of 2024. Attendees will receive a small stipend (up to $500) and special access to expert fellows of the program—journalists, editors and communications experts—as well as materials produced during the workshops. Successful applicants should be involved in research in climate or environmental science, public health, planetary health or related fields.
