Science research competitions can spur confidence and open college doors, but many students – particularly those from underrepresented groups – don’t know about these opportunities. The Society for Science & the Public seeks to broaden participation through its Advocate Grant Program, which offers training, a $3,000 stipend, and paid trip to Washington, D.C., for individuals to help a minimum of three underserved students navigate the transition from conducting to presenting their research at a competition. Apply by March 4, 2020. 
Astronomy, HIV genetics, and mathematical risk prediction were the topics that won three teens top honors at the 2019 Regeneron Science Talent Search, America’s oldest and most prestigious youth STEM competition.
