Alliance for Science

The Alliance for Science conducts policy advocacy, communications campaigns, and research amplification, to promote an enabling environment for science-based solutions to challenges of food and nutrition security, climate change, global health, and misinformation.

To meet these goals, the Alliance focuses its efforts around:

• Establishing a global network.
• Training with a purpose. 
• Multimedia communications.

The Alliance is an initiative based at the Boyce Thompson Institute, an independent nonprofit research institute affiliated with Cornell University. Its primary source of support is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. BTI scientists conduct investigations into fundamental plant and life sciences research with the goals of increasing food security, improving environmental sustainability in agriculture, and making basic discoveries that will enhance human health. Throughout this work, BTI is committed to inspiring and educating students and providing advanced training for the next generation of scientists.
