THROUGH ITS PRINT AND ONLINE INCARNATIONS, SCIENCE REACHES AN ESTIMATED WORLDWIDE READERSHIP OF MORE THAN ONE MILLION. IN CONTENT, THE JOURNAL IS TRULY INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE: SOME 35 TO 40 PERCENT OF THE CORRESPONDING AUTHORS ON ITS PAPERS ARE BASED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. AND ITS ARTICLES CONSISTENTLY RANK AMONG WORLDS MOST CITED RESEARCH. SCIENCES LEADING POSITION STEMS FROM MANY FACTORS: (1) THE JOURNALS STRONG TRADITION OF EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE; (2) ITS HIGH STANDARDS OF PEER-REVIEW AND EDITORIAL QUALITY (OF THE MORE THAN 12,000 TOP-NOTCH SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPTS THAT THE JOURNAL SEES EACH YEAR, LESS THAN 8 PERCENT ARE ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION); (3) ITS BOARD OF REVIEWING EDITORS, CONSISTING OF CLOSE TO 200 OF THE WORLDS TOP SCIENTISTS; (4) ITS STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, WHICH ENSURES A STREAM OF LIVELY, UP-TO-DATE, AND AUTHORITATIVE NEWS AND COMMENTARY IN ITS PAGES; (5) THE DEDICATION OF ITS PROFESSIONAL STAFF IN THE U.S., THE U.K., AND OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING 31 PH.D. EDITORS, A DIGITAL MEDIA AND PUBLISHING TEAM, AND A TEAM OF SCIENCE WRITERS, REPORTERS, AND JOURNALISTS SECOND TO NONE; (6) THE SUPPORT OF ITS PUBLISHER, AAAS, THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE SOCIETY.

Desc	SCIENCE EDUCATION AND DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION IMPROVING EDUCATION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) IS A PRIMARY GOAL OF AAAS THAT BENEFITS INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY, WHICH NEEDS SCIENCE-LITERATE CITIZENS AND A WELL-TRAINED STEM WORKFORCE. AAAS FACILITATES POLICIES, PROGRAMS, CONFERENCES AND AWARDS THAT ENSURE SOCIETY CAN ACCESS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF STEM TALENT. THE AAAS STEM EQUITY ACHIEVEMENT (SEA CHANGE) PROGRAM RECOGNIZES EFFECTIVE INSTITUTIONAL EFFORTS TO ATTRACT, RETAIN AND ADVANCE UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS AND FACULTY ENGAGED IN STEMM FIELDS. RECOGNIZING THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, SEA CHANGE OUTLINES A VOLUNTARY STRUCTURAL APPROACH TO ENSURING THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY SUPPORTS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. BOSTON UNIVERSITY; THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS; AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LOWELL WERE SELECTED BY AAAS AS THE FIRST INSTITUTIONAL AWARDEES IN 2019. WOMEN WORKING IN STEM IN VARIED CAREER FIELDS - INCLUDING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, SPORTS AND RECREATION, MUSIC, FASHION, GAMING, ENGINEERING, AND MANUFACTURING - WERE SELECTED AS AAAS IF/THEN AMBASSADORS IN 2019. SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS OF APPLICANTS, THE GROUP OF 125 AMBASSADORS - SERVING AS PART OF LYDA HILL PHILANTHROPIES' IF/THEN INITIATIVE - ARE HIGH PROFILE ROLE MODELS FOR MIDDLE-SCHOOL GIRLS, DEMONSTRATING DIFFERENT CAREER PATHWAYS AND HOW STEM AFFECTS THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. THE DIALOGUE ON SCIENCE, ETHICS, AND RELIGION PROGRAM IS FACILITATING DIALOGUE BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY. THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS SCIENTISTS AND FAITH LEADERS IN ENGAGING QUESTIONS OF SCIENCE, ETHICS, AND RELIGION WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WITH THE PUBLIC.	Desc

Desc	SHAPING SCIENCE POLICY SCIENCE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR INFORMING SOUND POLICY AND ENSURING PROGRESS FOR ALL CITIZENS. AAAS LEVERAGES SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO ENGAGE POLICYMAKERS AND SOCIETY AT LARGE. WE ARTICULATE POSITIONS ON CRITICAL SCIENCE-RELATED ISSUES IN PUBLIC STATEMENTS AND IN NEWS MEDIA COMMENTARIES AND INTERVIEWS. WE HOLD WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, AND EVENTS FOR SCIENTISTS, POLICYMAKERS, AND THE PUBLIC TO ENGAGE AND COMMUNICATE. AAASS WORK HELPS THE PUBLIC BETTER UNDERSTAND SCIENCE AND ITS ROLE IN EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY-MAKING. FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE AAAS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY POLICY FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM HAS PLACED THOUSANDS OF OUTSTANDING SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL POLICYMAKING PROCESS AND TO BE PREPARED TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS SOCIETAL CHALLENGES. TODAY, STPF PLACES MORE THAN 250 FELLOWS EACH YEAR IN ALL BRANCHES OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. GOLDEN GOOSE AWARDS, FOUNDED BY AAAS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, RECOGNIZE FEDERALLY FUNDED BASIC SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS THAT MAY HAVE SOUNDED ODD OR OBSCURE BUT HAVE RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLE BENEFITS TO SOCIETY. IN 2019, FIVE RESEARCHERS - INCLUDING SCIENTISTS WHO WORKED TO DEVELOP A LIFESAVING CHOLERA TREATMENT, DISCOVER AUTOIMMUNITY AND DEVELOP A DETECTION TOOL FOR BACTERIAL ENDOTOXINS - WERE HONORED.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: TO FULFILL THIS MISSION, THE AAAS BOARD HAS SET THESE BROAD GOALS: ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AMONG SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, AND THE PUBLIC; PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE; STRENGTHEN SUPPORT FOR THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE; PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES; PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC POLICY; STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE; FOSTER EDUCATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE; INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY; AND ADVANCE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D, OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES:	FOUNDED IN 1848, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE IS AN INTERNATIONAL, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO ADVANCING SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND INNOVATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE. WITH MORE THAN 120,000 INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS IN MORE THAN 91 COUNTRIES, AAAS IS THE WORLDS LARGEST MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY AND A LEADING PUBLISHER OF CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH THROUGH THE SCIENCE FAMILY OF JOURNALS. AS ONE OF THE TOP VOICES FOR SCIENCE WORLDWIDE, AAAS SPEARHEADS INITIATIVES IN POLICY, INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DIPLOMACY, STEM EDUCATION, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, AND MORE. WE STRIVE TO PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE, PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES, AND STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE. TO HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON OUR MISSION TO ADVANCE SCIENCE AND SERVE SOCIETY, AAAS'S WORK, AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS, IS BOTH EXPANSIVE AND INTERCONNECTED FROM INCREASING DIVERSITY IN STEM TO PROVIDING POLICYMAKERS WITH SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION AND HELPING PEOPLE TO THINK CRITICALLY. FEDERAL SCIENCE BUDGET ANALYSIS AAAS IS A LEADING SOURCE FOR DATA AND TIMELY ANALYSIS OF TRENDS IN U.S. FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) FUNDING. SINCE 1976, WE HAVE SERVED AS A GO-TO RESOURCE FOR THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND LONG-TERM CHANGES AND RECENT POLICY DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING FEDERAL SCIENCE BUDGETS. EACH YEAR WE ANALYZE THE U.S. PRESIDENT'S BUDGET REQUEST, MONITOR CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES AND BILLS, AND KEEP AN EYE ON LONGER-TERM R&D BUDGET TRENDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND PERSPECTIVES FOR POLICYMAKERS AND THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING COMMUNITY. SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AAAS SHARES INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES AND PROMOTES SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND STAKEHOLDERS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AAAS DISCUSSES THE LATEST SCIENCE NEWS WITH REPORTERS, PROVIDES COMMUNICATION TRAINING AND RESOURCES TO SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, AND FACILITATES RESEARCH-PRACTICE COLLABORATION IN SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. SCILINE IS AN INDEPENDENT, FREELY AVAILABLE SERVICE PROVIDING TIMELY ACCESS TO TRUSTWORTHY, ARTICULATE EXPERTS FOR JOURNALISTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATORS PRODUCING PRINT, BROADCAST, OR DIGITAL STORIES ABOUT SCIENCE-RELATED ISSUES. THE SERVICE ALSO OFFERS ACCESSIBLE SUMMARIES EXPLAINING THE METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE BEHIND NEWSWORTHY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES, AS WELL AS INSIGHTFUL, ON-THE-RECORD COMMENTS AND CONTEXT FROM RESEARCHERS AND SCHOLARS. IN 2019, SCILINE LAUNCHED A SERIES OF INTENSIVE "BOOT CAMP" COURSES TO PROVIDE REPORTERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE NEWSWORTHY SCIENCE ISSUES. THE FIRST BOOT CAMP EXAMINED THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING FIELD OF GENOMICS - AND ATTRACTED PRINT, RADIO AND TELEVISION JOURNALISTS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. HELD ANNUALLY AROUND THE COUNTRY, THE AAAS COMMUNICATING SCIENCE WORKSHOPS PROVIDE TOOLS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WHO WANT TO MORE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE ABOUT THEIR RESEARCH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS. THE PROGRAM HAS REACHED OVER 6,000 SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2008. ADVOCACY FOR EVIDENCE AAAS PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TO ENGAGE WITH DECISION-MAKERS AND INFORM POLICY DECISIONS ON LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. AAAS EDUCATES SCIENTISTS ABOUT THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN POLICYMAKING AND EMPOWERS THEM WITH WAYS TO BECOME A VOICE FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS. THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES AAAS PROVIDE HELP SCIENCE ADVOCATES EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WITH KEY DECISION-MAKERS. THE AAAS LOCAL SCIENCE ENGAGEMENT NETWORK IS SETTING UP NETWORKS IN STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES AND STATE POLICYMAKERS IN IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES RAISED BY CLIMATE CHANGE.
