As part of its focus on engaging scientists in the public policy process, AIBS has established the Emerging Public Policy Leadership Award.

EPPLA recipients receive first-hand experience at the interface of science and public policy.

The 2011 winners will receive an expense paid trip to Washington, DC, to participate in meetings with their congressional delegation, training and information on the federal budget and appropriations process, a certificate and 1-year AIBS membership, a complimentary 1-year subscription to BioScience, and a copy of Communicating Science: A Primer for Working with the Media.
