SAi Fellows Program

Launched in late 2018, our SAi Fellows Program seeks to provide mentorship and funding to new founders that want to build the next generation of informal science engagement/outreach programs, apps, events, tech, and more across fields. Fellows receive the theory, design, implementation, and evaluation knowledge-base to enable them to build fundable and sustainable initiatives. We especially welcome outside-the-box ideas that utilize new and creative ways to engage diverse target audiences around the world. 

SAi Fellows experience a unique 10-12 week program that uses logic model methodology and first principles reasoning to help new founders build and launch new science communication/outreach/engagement tools, initiatives, and organizations around the world. Founders can expect to engage in the following ways:

• Attend weekly ~1hr online lectures + group discussions (Tuesday Evenings EST);
• Work one-on-one with a dedicated expert mentor;
• Develop a logic model & project charter for their initiative;
• Write and submit a grant proposal for their initiative;
• Receive professional development support;
• Explore case studies with guest speakers;

Final projects are pitched publicly to SAi members and the broader external community (mid November).
