The Standing Committee on Reproductive Health, Equity, and Society will organize a two-part webinar to examine issues around financing and delivery of reproductive health care services in the U.S. Speakers, including health care providers and researchers, will discuss the ways in which public and private—financing, institutions, and systems—shape equitable access to comprehensive reproductive health care.

Part I was held on June 7, 2024, 12:00-1:30pm ET. The webinar focused on the coverage and limitations of public and private reproductive health care financing, the relationship between financing mechanisms and equitable access to reproductive health care, and strategies to increase access to comprehensive reproductive health care services. Speakers include:

Reimbursement for Abortion Services Under Medicaid
- Brittni Frederiksen, PHD, MPH, Associate Director, Women's Health Policy, KFF
Reproductive Justice and Financing Infertility Care
- Kimberly Mutcherson, JD, Professor of Law, Rutgers Law School
Financing Reproductive Health Care: Role of Statewide Contraceptive Access Initiatives
- Amal Khoury, PHD, Professor and Chair, Department of Health Services Management and Policy; Director, Center for Applied Research and Evaluation in Women's Health, East Tennessee State University
The Role of the Private Sector Post-Roe in Enabling Access to Care
- Jen Stark, Co-Director, Center for Business & Social Justice, BSR

Part II (June 12, 2024, 12:00-1:30pm ET) focused on the influence of public and private institutions and systems on access to and delivery of reproductive health care services. For more information see here.

About

The National Academies Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability, in collaboration with the Board on Health Care Services and Board on Science Education, convened a hybrid workshop, Artificial Intelligence in Education and Mental Health for a Sustainable Future on May 30, 2024.

The workshop consisted of two parts: AI in mental health and well-being and AI in education. Participants reviewed AI tools, applications, and strategies in education and mental health and the implications for sustainable development. Discussions included knowledge gaps between academia and the private sector, as well as opportunities and key priorities for promoting sustainability, including startup and local perspectives.

The workshop also discussed opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, including AI potential to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Proceedings of a Workshop—in Brief summarizes the presentations and discussion of the event.

Beyond the Hype: Putting Artificial Intelligence to Work for Sustainable Development

May 20, 2024

12:00 AM - 12:00 AM (ET)

Past

About

On May 20, 2024, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Science and Technology for Sustainability Program and the Embassy of Sweden in Washington co-organized an event, Beyond the Hype: Putting AI to Work for Sustainable Development. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been portrayed as a universal solution for global challenges, especially climate change and healthcare-related challenges; however, this portrayal raises a critical question: is AI just hype?

Participants including diplomats, scientists, and tech experts discussed AI's practical applications and limitations, including:

AI's Impact on the Sustainable Development Goals: The discussion focused on how AI can potentially advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across various sectors. Recent research has identified best practices and made strides towards SDGs, and these discussions addressed socio-economic and environmental concerns such as energy consumption, e-waste generation, and manufacturing footprint.
Impact of AI Hallucinations: AI hallucinations, generated by biased or inadequate training data, pose significant risks related to misinformation and ethics. Participants explored the impact of these hallucinations in critical areas such as health, energy, climate, water, and biodiversity, and how research can ensure responsible AI development and deployment.
International Collaboration in AI Research: Collaboration across national boundaries in AI research is crucial for maximizing AI's benefits for global sustainability. Participants highlighted the importance of cooperation among AI researchers and developers, emphasizing how such collaboration can leverage collective advantages and comparative strengths for mutual benefit.

One question was repeatedly asked: "Where can we go with this technology together?"

Since AI’s potential to revolutionize research and unlock new levels of discovery is not infallible, participants discussed that it is crucial to ensure researchers refrain from ceding their critical thinking skills and maintain their agency. While AI can simplify tasks through automation, it can also complicate matters by introducing bias in data analysis. As AI becomes more and more commonplace, participants discussed that it is essential for a diverse group of leaders to shape the future landscape of AI-transformed systems.

Workshop

Leveraging Community Benefit Frameworks: Empowering Communities to Benefit from Federally Funded Energy Projects

May 16 - 17, 2024

Past

Materials

About

A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is a legally binding contract to ensure residents and neighborhoods benefit directly from large development projects or initiatives. CBAs aim to foster collaboration, equity, and accountability in development processes while providing tangible advantages from a project to the affected community.

During this two-day workshop, experts and thought leaders from communities, community-based organizations, federal agencies, academia, and the private sector sought to: gain a better understanding of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Community Benefits Plan (CBP) process; learn about CBAs and situate them in the broader context of other frameworks for providing community benefits; hear about successful engagement models, tools, and resources needed for meaningful negotiation; and understand what is required for proactive and long-term capacity building in communities. Watch recordings of the event and access workshop materials below.

About

Join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for the launch of the AI for Scientific Discovery workshop proceedings!

The AI for Scientific Discovery workshop, which took place in October 2023, aimed to explore the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in terms of its role as an autonomous researcher carrying out discovery, build international collaboration amongst AI experts, and reveal funding opportunities for future research endeavors.

The proceedings release event will highlight key topics of discussion from the workshop complemented by AI activities around the National Academies and international perspectives. The first panel will consist of experts from across the National Academies to discuss key points in relation to the workshop. The last conversation will bring together global leaders to share international activities dealing with AI for Scientific Discovery. These panels will point to possible next steps in designing a roadmap for global collaboration in enhancing AI for Scientific Discovery.

Past

Materials

About

This workshop aims to gain a better understanding of the scope of the environmental damage resulting from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Participants will examine and assess environmental damages in different areas and the impact on water, energy, public health, land, and biodiversity. The workshop will also discuss the challenges posed by demining and risks to nuclear and other energy facilities, highlighting ideas for coordinating mechanisms among governments and organizations providing assistance. A key goal will be to highlight existing efforts to monitor and address these impacts, as well as identify opportunities for science and technology to address them. A secondary goal is to connect relevant communities within government, research, the private sector, and non-profit organizations across the U.S. and Ukraine to coordinate these efforts and effectively address the needs in Ukraine.

Day 3 will examine the environmental impacts posted by risks of damgage to nuclear and other energy facilities, discuss how to quantify the cost of environmental remediation in Ukraine, and highlight next steps for improving coordination among government and other parties to address environmental damage and remediation.
