The Academy has a three-pronged mission: to advance scientific research and knowledge; to help resolve the major global challenges facing society with science-based solutions; and to increase the number of scientifically informed individuals. The Academy offers an array of programming: dynamic conferences and symposia on basic and applied research in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary fields and on the broader roles of science, technology, and culture in society; career development and training for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the sciences; live public events that bring scientists together with artists, writers, and other cultural experts to present emerging research; a global public-private humanitarian partnership to bring science-based solutions to quality-of-life issues in the developing world; an advisory program in innovation and economic development for municipal, state, and foreign governments; and a science education initiative that includes teacher training and afterschool mentoring for low-income middle-school students. 16020869 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false true true true false true true false false true true true
