dc.titleEngaging scientists in science policy: Experiences From Canadaen
dcterms.abstractBackground: Training scientists in science policy is crucial to enhance scientific advice for decision-making. However, there are limited opportunities for scientists to receive such training. Analysis: We reflected on our participation in a one-year postgraduate science policy fellowship program in Canada. Although recently discontinued in 2023, this fellowship allowed us to refine practical policy skills, contribute to policy outputs that advanced our office’s mandate, and access career pathways beyond academia. Policy Options: Recognizing the value of engaging scientists in policy, we advocate for continued offerings of science policy training, alongside rigorous evaluation to inform program changes. Additionally, we encourage increased financial support early on for graduate students to sustain a talent pool of scientists who will become future science policy leaders. Lastly, we urge more scientists and students to be active in science policy spaces. Conclusion: By openly sharing our experiences and learnings from the fellowship, we seek to contribute to ongoing discussions on the importance of science policy training and its role in bridging the gap between science and decision-making.en
