The \u201cBuilding Leadership in Science Communication\u201d project was an
\neducation and outreach effort designed to build science communication skills and confidence among C-DEBI grantees, especially graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Organized by the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography\u2019s Metcalf Institute for Marine & Environmental Reporting, a one-day workshop was held on October 17, 2016, in conjunction with the 2016 C-DEBI Annual Meeting in California to maximize the opportunity for C-DEBI grantee attendance. The workshop focused on providing expert instruction and coaching on how to develop a compelling message about scientific research for a variety of audiences, how to prepare for interactions with the news media, and how to develop and share videos of research activities for broader audiences. Of the 27 workshop participants, twenty completed a pre-workshop survey to assess their science communication experience, needs, and expectations, and sixteen completed a post-workshop survey to gauge the program\u2019s effectiveness and impacts. The workshop was part of Metcalf Institute\u2019s ongoing work to deepen public engagement with science through communication training for scientists and science training and resources for journalists.<\/p>\n
