Opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with overdoses and deaths caused by prescribed and “street” drugs on the rise. The accelerating abuse of opioids includes not only painkillers that have legitimate uses, but heroin and the synthetic opioid fentanyl as well. The epidemic is not limited to inner city pockets of poverty; small-town America is also overcome by a tsunami of opioid addiction, putting strains on state and local social services and criminal justice systems. Join us for an event that will address the demographics and sociology of the opioid epidemic, the science of opioid addiction, and treatment options.

"Digital Innovation Through International Research Collaboration: Prospects for U.S.-Japan Research Collaboration"  is co-organized with the Embassy of Japan, the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

The New York Geographic Alliance has made arrangements with Broome County Teacher Center to hold a full-day mini-conference on watersheds in the Greater Binghamton Area. We will study the watershed of the Susquehanna from several perspectives - models, maps, aerial imagery. We will also use the GIANT Map of New York to help us discuss watersheds in our state. In the afternoon, we will go to a park to test the water quality of the Chenango River and the Susquehanna River. Weather permitting, we will go to Confluence Park in Binghamton and to Chenango Valley State Park a few miles to the north. We will be working with Andrea Decker, Director of Education at Roberson Museum and Science Center. The NYGA kits are designed to be "kid-friendly" and have been used successfully from upper elementary to college level. Prof. Stephen Vermette of Buffalo State College will coordinate this part of the workshop. Our goal is to create data from all over New York's part of the watershed. If teachers decide to partner with us, we can supply them with kits that they can keep at their school. We will also supply you with other resources you might need to make your program successful. 

Each year, the Mentor-Connect project team produces a cost-free webinar that highlights the process for filling out various forms that are required in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant proposal process. In 2016, we will offer this technical assistance webinar again with a fresh spin.  

The AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships program makes every effort to comply with federal, state, and local government ethics rules when hosting events. Please make sure that your participation is consistent with applicable ethics rules.

 

In the last decades 3D city models have been used mainly for visualisation. However, nowadays they are being increasingly employed for simulations and spatial analyses in many application domains. For example, they can be used to estimate the energy demand of buildings, and as a platform to support smart cities. This presentation will present 3D experiences from the Netherlands, and it will shortly overview the current developments in the acquisition, standardisation (e.g. OGC CityGML), and utilisation of 3D city models.

Join us for networking over snacks, and get individual advice on your projects in the second of four events on evaluations in the human rights sector! Watch the webinar with others at AAAS, and discuss your needs, ideas, and experiences with presenters at a post-webinar networking session. Learn about the key elements of designing a program evaluation. The presenters will share: how to define the purpose and utility of the evaluation; the relationship between evaluation questions and evaluation designs; and their experience designing and implementing evaluations using an array of approaches. The presenters will share five common designs for human rights evaluations, the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and provide real life examples to elaborate on how they can be used in practice.

Grant directors, grant developers and resource development personnel are all managers today. They are increasingly queried about evaluation, outcomes, evidence and data management. A useful tool for managers is the project dashboard. 

This webinar will: 
* Define dashboard elements 
* Distinguish informational elements from trends and Key Performance indicators (KPIs) 
* Create ownership to make the dashboard a dynamic reporting tool 
* Develop your own dashboard with examples you can use

How can policy decision-making at the national and international levels make better use of our scientific understanding of the services provided to human societies by nature (ecosystem services)? Through a variety of formats, aimed at both theory and practice, our symposium will promote discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of placing monetary value on biodiversity and developing and applying the associated valuation tools. Furthermore, we aim to spark conversation around the topic of what constitutes an ecosystem service. Speakers will review the rationale behind ecosystem services valuation and its recent history, explore the benefits and limitations of the approach using domestic and international case studies, and showcase examples of tools currently used for identifying and valuing ecosystem services. We draw on the practical experiences of people working across sectors: government, NGO, and academia.
