  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><strong>Last year to participate in the SciComm Identities Project Fellowship - apply now!</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>We're excited to announce that applications for the <a href="https://scicommidentities.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SciComm</a> Identities Project (SCIP) Fellowship are now open for the third and <strong>final cohort</strong>! Apply for this groundbreaking program designed for pre-tenure faculty of color by <strong>September 23rd, 2024</strong>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>WHAT:</strong> A year-long fellowship developed by University of Rhode Island’s <a href="https://metcalfinstitute.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Metcalf Institute</a>, Michigan State University’s <a href="https://knightcenter.jrn.msu.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Knight Center for Environmental Journalism</a>, and the URI <a href="https://web.uri.edu/science-story-lab/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Science &amp; Story Lab</a> to develop your voice and skills as a science communicator through a variety of media, including podcasting! SCIP is designed to test a novel science communication training curriculum based in intercultural communication and culturally responsive pedagogy.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>WHO: </strong>Pre-tenure faculty from underrepresented ethnic and racial backgrounds at U.S. academic institutions, who study issues related to climate change and agriculture, aquaculture, or food insecurity. We encourage applications from varied disciplines in social and natural sciences and engineering.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>WHERE: </strong>Fellows are required to participate in two in-person, weeklong workshops held in January and July, as well as five virtual trainings throughout the year. Lodging expenses for the in-person workshops are pre-paid. Travel and per diem will be reimbursed. </div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>WHY:</strong> Access mentorship, peer community, resources, new networks, and the skills and confidence to communicate your work and its impact to the world. Level up in your storytelling - and your career - while learning how to craft a more compelling tenure narrative that communicates the value of science communication. Fellows receive a stipend of $5,000 for their commitment, split in two payments after the in-person workshops.</div>
    <div><br></div>
