Public Radio International (PRI) has received a $2.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create leading-edge coverage of and engagement with science and technology on PRI's "The World," an award-winning global news program co-produced with BBC World Service and WGBH Radio Boston. The three-year grant will support the creation of a new Virtual Science Cafe, an interactive Web site and associated applications developed in partnership with Sigma Xi. The grant also will be used to increase the number and diversity of "The World's" science reports, podcasts and online content for the program's 2.3 million listeners plus online users. PRI President and CEO Alisa Miller said, "We are honored that the National Science Foundation is making it possible for 'The World' to break new ground and engage Americans with science and technology. We are also thrilled to partner with Sigma Xi on this effort."
