In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; the UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS); and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Day One Project, the CITRIS Policy Lab is hosting a four-part virtual science communication and tech policy workshop series that will equip researchers with the essential skills to effectively communicate their work to the general public, policymakers and funders.
Participants will receive hands-on training on how to create impactful policy deliverables that provide effective guidance to policymakers and federal and state agencies. Participants will also be invited to submit a policy memo proposal to the FAS Day One Project. Those selected to publish a policy memo via the FAS Day One Project will receive additional training and writing assistance.
This session, the final of four, will prepare faculty to respond to agency requests for information, requests for comments on bills, notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs) and other governmental strategies. Attendees will learn how to provide informed and constructive feedback that can directly shape evidence-based policymaking
