Meet the Affiliates

To encourage broader participation in the educational outreach efforts of NASA’s Science Activation teams, we are providing funds to support travel to the AGU Fall Meeting each year for up to ten (10) early career researchers engaged in NASA-sponsored research, and especially those who identify as members of historically marginalized communities. These selected AGU Sci/Act Affiliates agree to participate in communications workshops held at the AGU.

The AGU/SciAct Affiliate travel funding, up to $1,671/person, is a one time opportunity intended to foster engagement of these new early career scientists with the SciAct community. Below are the awardees of this program.
