Discussion Group Sponsorship

The Academy offers opportunities to sponsor our Frontiers of Science discussion groups. Typically meeting several times each year, each discussion group provides a neutral forum for researchers with shared interests to exchange information on basic and applied research and on the broader role of science, medicine, and technology in society.
