FLi Sci Allies are scientists, graduate students, and professionals who donate their time and perspective. We match Allies with scholars based on research interests and stage of training.
What it looks like: a modest, well-scoped commitment — typically a handful of one-on-one conversations or a guest session with a cohort over the course of a cohort year. We design around your availability, not the other way around.
Who we need: researchers across the life and physical sciences, engineering, psychology, medicine, and data science. Graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and industry scientists are all welcome.
FLi Sci is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit. Every dollar goes into scholar mentorship, stipends for graduate fellows, and the infrastructure that keeps a national cohort running.
Institutional & foundation partnerships: We're grateful to work with a growing circle of funders — including Echoing Green, True Ventures, the Roddenberry Foundation, ECMC Foundation, the Skillman Foundation, and many others. If your institution is interested in a partnership, we'd love to hear from you at info@flisci.org.
