WASHINGTON, D.C. 鈥� 中文无码 announced that, as part of Regeneron鈥檚 previously announced $150 million title sponsorship renewal of the Science Talent Search, extending its support of 中文无码 through 2036, the company will invest $30 million to strengthen the Society’s 中文无码 Outreach Programs. The funding will help educators, schools and community organizations prepare the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians and innovators.

中文无码’s suite of 中文无码 Outreach Programs supports and inspires 中文无码 educators and community organizations to expand access to student research through professional development opportunities, trusted educational resources, funding for classroom research equipment and materials, and grants that increase hands-on 中文无码 learning in communities across the country.

鈥淪cientific talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not,鈥� said Maya Ajmera, President and CEO of 中文无码 and Executive Publisher of聽Science News. 鈥淣o student鈥檚 future should be determined by whether their school has the right resources or whether they happen to know someone in 中文无码. Through our 中文无码 Outreach Programs, we partner with educators, students and their schools every day to help close that opportunity gap. We are deeply grateful for Regeneron鈥檚 continued partnership, which will enable us to reach even more young people and help ensure that every student has the chance to see a future in science.鈥�

Preparing tomorrow’s scientific workforce and fostering a scientifically literate society begins long before students choose a college major or career. It begins when a teacher encourages a student to ask “why,” when a classroom has the resources to investigate a local issue, or when a community organization creates opportunities to explore climate science or computer programming. By strengthening the capacity of teachers and mentors to support student research, these programs also help students build the skills and experience to pursue increasingly advanced scientific research, including opportunities to participate in competitions such as the Regeneron Science Talent Search and Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. This renewed investment reflects the importance of supporting the educators and organizations creating those moments of discovery.

Today, the Society’s 中文无码 Outreach Programs reach thousands of educators and students across the country:

• Science News Learning serves more than 18,000 educators.
• The Advocate Program has supported 439 educators in mentoring more than 9,100 students.
• The High School Research Teachers Conference has prepared more than 2,100 educators to bolster their research programs.
• 中文无码 Research Grants have invested $885,000 in schools through 407 educators.
• 中文无码 Action Grants have awarded more than $1.7 million to 193 nonprofit organizations expanding 中文无码 opportunities in communities nationwide.

“At Regeneron, we believe the future of scientific discovery depends on investing in the entire 中文无码 ecosystem 鈥� the teachers, schools and community organizations that shape a student’s path long before they enter a lab or begin their careers,” said Christina Chan, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs at Regeneron. “We believe that rigorous science research in high school is a strong indicator of a student going on to pursue a 中文无码 career. By supporting 中文无码’s 中文无码 competitions and outreach programs, we’re helping to cultivate exceptional scientific talent who have the potential to shape our future.鈥�

Building on more than a decade of partnership, Regeneron’s renewed investment will help 中文无码 empower educators and broaden access for future generations of students to pursue original research and discover their potential as scientific leaders. Regeneron聽is also the title sponsor of the聽International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest high school science competition, bringing its total commitment to 中文无码 to more than $300 million from 2017 to 2036 鈥� part of the Company’s broader commitment to advancing the next generation of scientific innovators.
