The Arkansas Academy of Science includes members from universities and colleges in the state as well as those from the Arkansas Forestry Commission, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the National Center for Toxicological Research in Pine Bluff and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System.
The Arkansas Academy of Science began meeting in 1917 as a group of scientists wishing to establish regular avenues of communication with one another and promote science and the dissemination of scientific information in the state. The academy is a volunteer, nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonpolitical, professional organization consisting of dues-paying scientists and engineers who promote science in the state.
By further promoting the work of Arkansas students, the academy increases collaboration among the scientific community and provides a more comprehensive network for scientific academics. These endeavors promote a higher standard of education within Arkansas and will encourage and promote a higher quality of life through educational opportunities.
The funds generated by the academy annual membership dues provide students with assistance to conduct research, and provide for travel, supplies and other expenses through grants and awards. They also support the annual meeting.
