Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
The primary purpose of the organization is to examine and report on public policy issues related to Science and Technology that affect the State of California. CCST is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization that was established as an independent science advising body at the request of the state legislature in 1988. CCST's mission is to engage leading experts in science and technology to advise state policymakers to ensure that California policy is strengthened and informed by scientific knowledge, research, and innovation. CCST's vision for the Golden State is that California enhances its global leadership in science, technology, and innovation to guide the state, nation, and world towards a healthy economy, society, and environment.CALIFORNIA'S POLICIES ARE STRONGER WITH SCIENCE, AND CCST IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED AS AN ORGANIZATION CREATED VIA THE LEGISLATURE TO CONVENE A STATEWIDE NETWORK OF EXPERTS ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND INSTITUTIONS. AS THIS COORDINATING BODY, CCST CAN PROVIDE IMPARTI

For the past 35 years, CCST's approach to partnering and facilitating dialogue across institutions and disciplines has allowed CCST to create a collective impact that exceeds what any single institution could accomplish on its own.Collaboration was especially key in 2022. By working together across an extraordinary network of partners, researchers, public servants, and philanthropists, CCST paved the way for new and creative solutions to some of California's most daunting problems. CCST made headway on two disaster resilience efforts addressing the impacts of wildfire: a policy accelerator project with the Federation of American Scientists to support the work of the Federal Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission; and a joint project with Blue Forest Conservation linking public health to forest health via wildfire smoke, which is slated for release in late summer 2023.CCST's COVID-19 Steering Committee released ""California Policy Actions for Pandemic Preparation, Response, and Recovery"" in summer 2022. The White Paper presented 34 recommendations for policymakers to consider in efforts to improve California's resilience to COVID-19 and prepare for future pandemics and other disasters. In 2022 the Committee held two facilitated workshops with experts and published their proceedings: ""Reimagining a 21st Century Public Health System"X and ""Designing Operable Privacy Standards for Data Sharing during Public Health Emergencies"".In January 2022, Issues in Science and Technology published ""States as Laboratories for Science Policy Innovation"", by Amber Mace, CCST CEO; and Jun Bando, former Senior Advisor at CCST.CCST Expert Briefings, often held in partnership with State leaders of peer organizations, convene leading experts from CCST's Partner Institutions and beyond to address pressing scientific and technical questions facing California policymakers. In 2022, CCST held a series of seven briefings, focused on identifying and addressing the key issues on the California policy landscape critical to ensuring long-term disaster resilience.In the fall, CCST also partnered with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research on a series of six public roundtables for California's Fifth Climate Change Assessment. The series helped to identify how future research can incorporate equity, traditional knowledges, governance, economic impacts, and climate financing.The 2022 class of Fellows marked the 13th year of placing PhD-level scientists, engineers, and social scientists directly into legislative offices, policy committees, and more recently State Agencies and Offices of the Governor, to prepare them for public service through the S&T Policy Fellowship Program. Working in placements that included the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, California Natural Resources Agency, Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee, Assembly Judiciary Committee, Senate Environmental Quality Committee, California Air Resources Board, and more, CCST S&T Policy Fellows made an impact across a range of policy and regulatory fields. Altogether, CCST S&T Policy Fellows have worked on over 1,300 bills, briefings, hearings, and bill analyses. There are now 144 alumni of the program, many of whom serve in positions in legislative offices and agencies.As California's future unfolds, CCST will play a leading role in harnessing science and technology to shape policies that address the disproportionate impact of natural and man-made disasters and other threats to diverse communities throughout the state.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
