Hi,
I'm trying to find out which - if any - grant funding bodies in the UK and US ask scientists to explain in grant applications how they plan to communicate their research results to the public, decision-makers, etc.
If any funding bodies require grant-holding scientists to do outreach, does anyone know if blogging about your research would fulfil this requirement?
It's for an article about science blogging and academic careers. I want to know if communicating your research is increasingly seen as a duty for scientists and, if so, whether this might make blogging a career positive.
I was going to ring all the UK Research Councils, but thought it would be quicker to ask. And I might get some intelligent discussion about scientists blogging too! Please don't shout at me - I'm scared I look like I'm spamming the list.
Best wishes,
Viviene
