FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION TO FULFILL THIS MISSION, THE AAAS BOARD HAS SET THESE BROAD GOALS: - ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AMONG SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, AND THE PUBLIC; - PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE; - STRENGTHEN SUPPORT FOR THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE; - PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES; - PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC POLICY; - STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE; - FOSTER EDUCATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE; - INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY; AND - ADVANCE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES (1) INTERNATIONAL OFFICE: AS SCIENCE BECOMES INCREASINGLY GLOBAL IN CHARACTER, SCIENTISTS ARE MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO REACH ACROSS NATIONAL BORDERS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR COLLABORATORS. AT THE SAME TIME, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BEING ASKED TO PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ILLS THAT AFFECT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. THE GROWING AWARENESS THAT INDIVIDUAL NATIONS CANNOT ALONE TAKE ON CHALLENGES TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH HAS LED AAAS TO WORK WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE WORLD BANK AND THE UNITED NATIONS TO SEEK INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS. A RESPONSE TO THESE NEEDS REQUIRES THE CREATION OF A SOLID SCIENTIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS THE PROLIFERATION OF A CULTURE OF SCIENCE WORLD-WIDE AMONG RESIDENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY AND THEIR LEADERS. AAAS' INTERNATIONAL OFFICE DEVELOPS PARTNERSHIPS AND MAINTAINS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AAAS AND LEADING SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS WORLD-WIDE, INCLUDING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTORS. OUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO CREATE LINKAGES AND TO FACILITATE NEW INITIATIVES THAT ADVANCE THE SHARED MISSION OF ADVANCING SCIENCE AND SERVING SOCIETY. AAAS IMPLEMENTS SEVERAL PROGRAMS DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING THE FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORLDWIDE. AMONG THEM ARE: (1) BUILDING CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES; (2) PROMOTING LINKAGES WITH INTERNATIONAL SCIENTISTS; (3) ENHANCING INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS SCIENCE-BASED ISSUES; AND (4) IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COUNTRIES AND PEOPLES THROUGH SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION. THE INTERNATIONAL OFFICE'S WORLDWIDE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS THROUGH SYMPOSIA, CONFERENCES, RESEARCH PROJECTS, EXCHANGES AND PUBLICATIONS, FOSTER IMPROVED PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE, PROVIDE VALUABLE LINKS TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES AND RESOURCES OF OTHER COUNTRIES, AND ENHANCES SCIENCE'S POTENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS HEALTH, ECOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES. (2) PROJECT 2061: FOUNDED IN 1985, PROJECT 2061 (WWW.PROJECT2061.ORG) IS AAAS' LONG-TERM INITIATIVE TO REFORM K-12 EDUCATION NATIONWIDE SO THAT ALL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ARE LITERATE IN SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND TECHNOLOGY. TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, PROJECT 2061 CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPS TOOLS AND SERVICES-BOOKS, CD-ROMS, ONLINE TOOLS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC OUTREACH THAT EDUCATORS, RESEARCHERS, POLICYMAKERS, PARENTS AND FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS CAN USE TO MAKE LASTING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NATION'S EDUCATION SYSTEM. PROJECT 2061'S LANDMARK REPORT, SCIENCE FOR ALL AMERICANS (1989), OUTLINES WHAT ALL STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO IN SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND TECHNOLOGY AFTER 13 YEARS OF SCHOOLING. BENCHMARKS FOR SCIENCE LITERACY (1993) TRANSLATES THE LITERACY GOALS OF SCIENCE FOR ALL AMERICANS INTO EXPECTATIONS FOR WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW AT THE END OF GRADES 2, 5, 8, AND 12. THE TWO-VOLUME ATLAS OF SCIENCE LITERACY (2001, 2007) EMPHASIZES CONNECTIONS AMONG IDEAS AND MAPS PROGRESSIONS OF STUDENT LEARNING FOR NEARLY 100 ESSENTIAL TOPICS IN SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND TECHNOLOGY. THE PROJECT'S AREAS OF EXPERTISE INCLUDE CURRICULUM EVALUATION AND DESIGN, ASSESSMENT, AND TEACHER DEVELOPMENT. THROUGH ITS WEB SITE AND NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS AND OTHER PRESENTATIONS, PROJECT 2061 REACHES K-12 TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHER EDUCATORS, AND INFORMAL SCIENCE EDUCATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. (3) CENTER FOR SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY POLICY: POLICYMAKERS WORKING ON SECURITY ISSUES NEED READY ACCESS TO THE BEST SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND THINKING, AND MECHANISMS FOR TESTING THEIR OWN IDEAS AGAINST SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL REALITIES. THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY POLICY (CSTSP) IS GUIDED BY THE OVER-ARCHING GOAL OF ADVANCING THE INTEGRATION OF SCIENCE AND PUBLIC POLICY FOR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY. INITIALLY FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE JOHN D. AND CATHERINE T. MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, CSTSP APPROACHES THAT GOAL BY ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION LINKS AMONG SCIENTISTS, POLICY ANALYSTS AND POLICYMAKERS. CSTSP PROVIDES A PORTAL THROUGH WHICH THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY AND POLICY INSTITUTES CAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER, AND WITH POLICYMAKERS AND THEIR STAFFS. THE CENTER SPEEDS THE DELIVERY OF BALANCED TECHNICAL ANALYSIS TO CONGRESS, EXECUTIVE BRANCH AGENCIES AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE; SERVES TO DRAW SPECIALISTS INTO SCIENCE AND SECURITY POLICY BY DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BROAD INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF LEADING UNIVERSITIES, THINK-TANKS, PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS; AND FEEDS THE INTERESTS OF THE POLICY COMMUNITY BACK TO THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY TO HELP CONNECT SCIENCE WITH NEW SECURITY CHALLENGES AND PUBLIC PRIORITIES. (4) POLICY INNOVATION NETWORK: THE POLICY INNOVATION NETWORK (ALSO REFERRED TO AS "EXPERT LABS") IS AN INDEPENDENT LAB WHOSE MANDATE IS TO HELP POLICY MAKERS IN THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAP INTO THE EXPERTISE OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS UTILIZING SOCIAL NETWORKS AND OTHER INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES. BY USING OPEN WEB TECHNOLOGIES, THE PROJECT AIMS TO MAKE IT EASY FOR POLICY MAKERS AND SCIENTISTS TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER USING ALREADY-FAMILIAR WEB SITES AND PROGRAMS. PROJECT STAFF LEARN FROM THE BEST EXAMPLES FROM THE ENTREPRENEURIAL WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY STARTUPS AS WELL AS SUCCESSFUL MODELS IN THE ACADEMIC WORLD. THE PROJECT, FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT FROM THE JOHN D. AND CATHERINE T. MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, WORKS CLOSELY WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE THE TOOLS CREATED WILL BE USEFUL FOR THEM. (5) PUBLIC PROGRAMS: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE INTEGRAL TO EVERY ASPECT OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE GENERALLY FAVORABLE PUBLIC ATTITUDES ABOUT SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THEIR BENEFITS, HOWEVER, TENSIONS CONTINUE TO EMERGE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CORE HUMAN VALUES AND CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC FIELDS-FROM HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL AND GLOBAL CLIMATE-CHANGE RESEARCH, TO THE TEACHING OF EVOLUTION. INCREASINGLY, THIS TENSION HAS INTERFERED WITH SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS, THE QUALITY OF SCIENCE EDUCATION, AND THE BROADER ABILITY OF THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE TO FULLY SERVE THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY. AAAS BUILD UPON AND MOVES BEYOND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING EFFORTS, TOWARD MORE COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC-DIALOGUE OPPORTUNITIES. AAAS HAS HAD LONG-STANDING SUCCESS IN BRINGING SCIENCE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH WORK WITH SCHOOLS, SCIENCE JOURNALISTS, AND SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND CENTERS; THROUGH RADIO, TELEVISION AND INTERNET BROADCASTING; AND THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS TRANSLATING SCIENCE INTO MORE UNDERSTANDABLE TERMS. THROUGH ITS CENTER FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AAAS IS PROVIDING A VENUE FOR MULTI-DIRECTIONAL DIALOGUE ON MANY OF THE TOPICS THAT HAVE RECENTLY CAPTURED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION, SUCH AS STEM CELL RESEARCH AND CLONING; EVOLUTION AND SCIENCE EDUCATION; SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND NATIONAL SECURITY; BIOTERRORISM; ENERGY POLICY; SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT; THE ENVIRONMENT; CLIMATE CHANGE; GENETIC MEDICINE; EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES; GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS; SPACE EXPLORATION; AND NANOTECHNOLOGY. THE CENTER HAS LAUNCHED A SERIES OF ONGOING ACTIVITIES INTENDED TO BOOST PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF SCIENCE AND THE WORK OF SCIENTISTS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME INCREASING PUBLIC INPUT INTO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND POLICY AGENDAS BY CREATING A VEHICLE FOR REAL DIALOGUE AMONG POLICYMAKERS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. TO DATE, ONGOING ACTIVITIES HAVE INCLUDED SUCH EFFORTS AS TOWN HALL MEETINGS ON ISSUES SUCH AS OCEANS, EVOLUTION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE; TREE "FAMILY SCIENCE DAYS," PLANNED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, SCIENCE CENTERS AND OTHERS, DURING THE AAAS ANNUAL MEETING; "MEET THE SCIENTIST" EVENTS AT AAAS HEADQUARTERS; A "GLOCAL" STRATEGY TO PROMOTE LOCAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT REGARDING GLOBAL SCIENCE-RELATED ISSUES, BY WORKING WITH LOCAL OPINION LEADERS, POLICY-MAKERS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, CLERGY, AND THE NEWS MEDIA; THE SCIENCE INSIGHTS AND NEWS SERVICE, TO HELP INCREASE THE VOLUME OF SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP THROUGH NEWS OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS OP-ED PLACEMENTS, THE AAAS SCIENCE TALK EXPERTS & SPEAKERS SERVICE, AND MORE. (6) ANNUAL MEETING: THE AAAS ANNUAL MEETING PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR THE MOST CURRENT THINKING AND RESEARCH FINDINGS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND POLICY. THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, EDUCATORS, AND POLICY-MAKERS AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE REPORTERS AND WRITERS PARTICIPATE ANNUALLY IN THIS EVENT TO CONNECT WITH EMINENT SCIENTISTS WHO SHARE INTERESTS AND PASSION FOR SCIENCE. EXPENSES: $9,233,438 GRANTS: $441,430 REVENUE: $2,553,296
