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: FOUNDED IN 1848, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE IS AN INTERNATIONAL, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO ADVANCING SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND INNOVATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE. WITH MORE THAN 120,000 INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS IN MORE THAN 91 COUNTRIES, AAAS IS THE WORLDS LARGEST MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY AND A LEADING PUBLISHER OF CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH THROUGH THE SCIENCE FAMILY OF JOURNALS. AS ONE OF THE TOP VOICES FOR SCIENCE WORLDWIDE, AAAS SPEARHEADS INITIATIVES IN POLICY, INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DIPLOMACY, STEM EDUCATION, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, AND MORE. WE STRIVE TO PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE, PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES, AND STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE. TO HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON OUR MISSION TO ADVANCE SCIENCE AND SERVE SOCIETY, AAAS'S WORK, AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS, IS BOTH EXPANSIVE AND INTERCONNECTED FROM INCREASING DIVERSITY IN STEM TO PROVIDING POLICYMAKERS WITH SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION AND HELPING PEOPLE TO THINK CRITICALLY. FEDERAL SCIENCE BUDGET ANALYSIS AAAS IS A LEADING SOURCE FOR DATA AND TIMELY ANALYSIS OF TRENDS IN U.S. FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) FUNDING. SINCE 1976, WE HAVE SERVED AS A GO-TO RESOURCE FOR THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND LONG-TERM CHANGES AND RECENT POLICY DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING FEDERAL SCIENCE BUDGETS. EACH YEAR WE ANALYZE THE U.S. PRESIDENT'S BUDGET REQUEST, MONITOR CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES AND BILLS, AND KEEP AN EYE ON LONGER-TERM R&D BUDGET TRENDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND PERSPECTIVES FOR POLICYMAKERS AND THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING COMMUNITY. SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AAAS SHARES INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES AND PROMOTES SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND STAKEHOLDERS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AAAS DISCUSSES THE LATEST SCIENCE NEWS WITH REPORTERS, PROVIDES COMMUNICATION TRAINING AND RESOURCES TO SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, AND FACILITATES RESEARCH-PRACTICE COLLABORATION IN SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. SCILINE IS AN INDEPENDENT, FREELY AVAILABLE SERVICE PROVIDING TIMELY ACCESS TO TRUSTWORTHY, ARTICULATE EXPERTS FOR JOURNALISTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATORS PRODUCING PRINT, BROADCAST, OR DIGITAL STORIES ABOUT SCIENCE-RELATED ISSUES. THE SERVICE ALSO OFFERS ACCESSIBLE SUMMARIES EXPLAINING THE METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE BEHIND NEWSWORTHY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES, AS WELL AS INSIGHTFUL, ON-THE-RECORD COMMENTS AND CONTEXT FROM RESEARCHERS AND SCHOLARS. IN 2019, SCILINE LAUNCHED A SERIES OF INTENSIVE "BOOT CAMP" COURSES TO PROVIDE REPORTERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE NEWSWORTHY SCIENCE ISSUES. THE FIRST BOOT CAMP EXAMINED THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING FIELD OF GENOMICS - AND ATTRACTED PRINT, RADIO AND TELEVISION JOURNALISTS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. HELD ANNUALLY AROUND THE COUNTRY, THE AAAS COMMUNICATING SCIENCE WORKSHOPS PROVIDE TOOLS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WHO WANT TO MORE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE ABOUT THEIR RESEARCH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS. THE PROGRAM HAS REACHED OVER 6,000 SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2008. ADVOCACY FOR EVIDENCE AAAS PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TO ENGAGE WITH DECISION-MAKERS AND INFORM POLICY DECISIONS ON LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. AAAS EDUCATES SCIENTISTS ABOUT THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN POLICYMAKING AND EMPOWERS THEM WITH WAYS TO BECOME A VOICE FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS. THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES AAAS PROVIDE HELP SCIENCE ADVOCATES EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WITH KEY DECISION-MAKERS. THE AAAS LOCAL SCIENCE ENGAGEMENT NETWORK IS SETTING UP NETWORKS IN STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES AND STATE POLICYMAKERS IN IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES RAISED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. IN 2019, PARTNERING WITH PILOT INITIATIVES IN MISSOURI AND COLORADO, THE NETWORK IS WORKING TO INTEGRATE SCIENTISTS WITH LOCAL AND STATE POLICYMAKERS, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE PUBLIC TO LEVERAGE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND INFORM EFFORTS TO ADVANCE REGIONAL RESPONSES TO THE FLOODING OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS, IMPACTS OF URBAN HEAT ISLANDS AND DROUGHTS IN MISSOURI, AND PREMATURE SNOW MELTS, DROUGHTS AND WILDFIRES ENCROACHING ON SUBURBS IN COLORADO. THE AAAS CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN PUBLIC ISSUES, LAUNCHED IN 2018, IS WORKING TO DELIVER SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON VOTING INTEGRITY TO POLICYMAKERS AND ELECTION OFFICIALS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AS THEY PREPARE FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS. FOR ITS INITIAL EFFORT, THE EPI CENTER CONCENTRATED ITS WORK ON THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS WHERE CHANGES ARE ENACTED, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON STATES THAT USE COMPUTERIZED VOTING SYSTEMS THAT LACK PAPER TRAILS. THE CENTER HAS TAKEN A TARGETED APPROACH, ENGAGING IN ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS WITH LOCAL VOTING AUTHORITIES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THE CENTER ALSO WILL BRING EVIDENCE TO EMERGING VOTING TECHNOLOGY ISSUES, SUCH AS ONLINE VOTING. THE CATALYZING ADVOCACY IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING WORKSHOP IS AN ANNUAL THREE-DAY WORKSHOP THAT PROVIDES POLICY, ADVOCACY AND COMMUNICATION TRAINING TO UPPER-CLASS UNDERGRADUATES AND GRADUATE STUDENTS. IN RECENT YEARS, THE CASE WORKSHOP HAS SEEN STEADY GROWTH THAT ALIGNS WITH INCREASED INTEREST AND ENGAGEMENT IN POLICYMAKING AND ITS IMPACTS ON THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE AMONG STEM STUDENTS. THE NUMBER OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT SUPPORT STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKSHOP ALSO HAS CLIMBED; 64 INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED STUDENT ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR. FELLOWSHIPS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AAAS PROVIDES A PLACE FOR STEM PROFESSIONALS TO GROW THEIR CAREERS WITH TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, NETWORKING, AND EVENTS. SCIENTISTS CAN ADVANCE THEIR CAREERS BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AAAS TRAININGS AND COURSES ON PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, COMMUNICATION, NETWORKING, SCIENCE POLICY, AND MORE. AAAS FELLOWSHIPS ALLOW SCIENTISTS TO LEVERAGE THEIR SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE WHILE ALSO WORKING IN POLICY, JOURNALISM, AND OTHER FIELDS. AAAS PROGRAMS ALSO PROVIDE CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN A VARIETY OF TOPICS INCLUDING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY, AND EDUCATION. TEN SCIENTISTS WORKING IN THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY AREA OF HUMAN AUGMENTATION AND INTERFACING WITH PUBLIC AUDIENCES WERE SELECTED AS THE FOURTH ANNUAL COHORT OF AAAS ALAN I. LESHNER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT FELLOWS FOR HAVING DEMONSTRATED LEADERSHIP AND EXCELLENCE IN THEIR RESEARCH CAREERS AND AN INTEREST IN PROMOTING MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. THE AAAS MASS MEDIA SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FELLOWSHIP AND THE AAAS DIVERSE VOICES IN SCIENCE JOURNALISM PROGRAM ALLOW SCIENTISTS AND STUDENTS TO SPEND THEIR SUMMER AS SCIENCE JOURNALISTS IN NEWSROOMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. NOW IN ITS 45TH YEAR, THE MASS MEDIA FELLOWSHIP HAS SENT MORE THAN 700 SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS INTO NEWSROOMS. TWENTY-SIX MASS MEDIA FELLOWS WERE SPONSORED BY A SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY OR FOUNDATION IN 2019 AND TWO DIVERSE VOICES IN SCIENCE JOURNALISM INTERNS SPENT THE SUMMER AT AAAS HEADQUARTERS COVERING NEWS STORIES FOR SCIENCE. ENTRYPOINT!, A PROGRAM OF THE AAAS PROJECT ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND DISABILITY, RECRUITS AND RECOMMENDS FOR PLACEMENT QUALIFIED STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO LEADING COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. HUMAN RIGHTS, LAW & ETHICS AAAS HAS A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO CULTIVATE RESPONSIBLE SCIENCE IN THE SERVICE OF SOCIETY AND BUILD BRIDGES BETWEEN SCIENCE AND THE GREATER PUBLIC. IT FOSTERS AND FACILITATES THE RESPONSIBLE PRACTICE AND APPLICATION OF SCIENCE IN THE SERVICE OF SOCIETY AND ADDRESSES LEGAL, ETHICAL, AND HUMAN RIGHTS CONSIDERATIONS TO WHICH SCIENCE GIVES RISE. QUESTIONS OF VALUES, ETHICS, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LAW ARE RAISED BY THE EMERGENCE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES. AAAS PROVIDES A SPACE FOR ASSESSMENT AND ADVOCACY ON THE RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS AND LEGAL COMMUNITIES. INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT AND SCIENCE DIPLOMACY AAAS PROMOTES THE USE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES THAT SPAN REGIONS AND CROSS DISCIPLINES. IT HAS FORGED NEW INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, SUPPORTED RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS, AND ENCOURAGED INNOVATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. AAAS ALSO WORKS WITH GLOBAL PARTNERS TO STRENGTHEN ADVOCACY FOR EVIDENCE BEYOND NATIONAL BORDERS. IN 2019, AAAS AND THE WORLD ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (TWAS) HELD A "TRAIN THE TRAINER" COURSE IN TRIESTE, ITALY, PROVIDING HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES FOR FUTURE SCIENCE DIPLOMACY AMBASSADORS. THE GOAL WAS TO OFFER THE PARTICIPANTS - FROM 22 COUNTRIES IN LATIN AMERICA, ASIA, THE MIDDLE EAST, EUROPE AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA - STRATEGIES AND TOOLS SO THAT THEY COULD RETURN HOME AND, THROUGH COURSES AND ACTIVITIES TAILORED FOR THEIR HOME INSTITUTIONS AND COUNTRIES, FORGE A FUTURE CLASS OF SCIENCE DIPLOMATS.
