AAAS received a $10,000 grant from Pfizer in the first quarter of 2021 for “general operating support.”[5]
¶ Organization
AAAS is a member of the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF)[6] and the Task Force on American Innovation,[7] and is the organizational co-chair of the Engaging Scientists & Engineers in Policy Coalition (ESEP).[8] AAAS is listed by ScienceUpFirst as a collaborator,[9] and a participating organization of the Virtual Biosecurity Center.[10]
