In all our programs, Metcalf Institute advocates for and amplifies marginalized and underrepresented voices in science, journalism, and science communication. We build and support an international network of science communicators<\/a> via the biennial Inclusive SciComm Symposium to prioritize inclusion, equity and intersectionality and dismantle the legacies of racism and exclusion in these professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metcalf Institute provides education, training and resources to journalists, scientists and science communicators across career stages with the aim of engaging diverse public audiences in evidence-based conversations about science and the environment. We approach this mission with a focus on equity and inclusion, so that all perspectives are valued in the process of identifying and solving environmental challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Metcalf Institute envisions robust public discourse about environmental challenges and solutions that incorporate evidence and justice. The perspectives and experiences of Metcalf Institute alumni combined with the knowledge, skills and confidence gained from Metcalf training and network-building, will seed and advance equitable environmental protection. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in receiving Metcalf\u2019s Inclusive Science Communication trainings and offerings, please fill out this form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metcalf Institute is a program within URI\u2019s <\/span>College of the Environment and Life Sciences<\/span><\/a>, a leader in the environmental and life sciences, environmental economics and management, marine policy, and informal environmental education.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n URI students play a vital role in helping Metcalf Institute reach its objectives and operate efficiently.

Metcalf, the late publisher of The Providence Journal, who was known for his integrity, vision, and high standards for journalism. Additional funding was provided by the Telaka Foundation in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this modest endowment and partial support from the URI College of the Environment and Life Sciences, Metcalf programs and resources are underwritten by public and private foundations and by private donations managed by the University of Rhode Island Foundation & Alumni Engagement<\/a>, a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
