FYI: Science Policy News

Since 1989, FYI has been published by AIP and serves as a reliable source for news and analysis on science policy, earning the trust of policymakers and scientists across the country. We delve into the connection between policy and the physical sciences, providing comprehensive reports on crucial topics including innovation, competitiveness, research security, STEM education, equity and inclusion, climate change, and new technologies. Our coverage includes key federal science agencies like the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and NASA. In addition to detailed articles, we offer a weekly newsletter that keeps our audience informed about significant developments in science policy. This newsletter also features curated articles from other sources, job openings, and previews of policy events happening in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. Our policy tracking tools provide a wealth of information on science agency budgets, federal science leaders, and major science legislation in Congress. We aim to help both newcomers and seasoned professionals enhance their understanding of the individuals and processes that shape the U.S. research landscape.
