Expected Outcomes

Scientists can make a difference in the humanitarian realm by carrying out solid research in NPOs, whether it’s documenting human rights violations, measuring child poverty, or planning responses to health emergencies in developing countries.

Scientists are involved in carrying out research and running international development programs to help malnourished populations gain access to food, and to protect natural resources and biodiversity.NPOs and NGOs implement a broad range of international development programs in fields including health and education and rural infrastructure.

Scientists with the right credentials can do field work. Those with clinical training can provide medical aid. Scientists with a forensics background can document crimes against humanity. Public health offers many career avenues, for clinical, social, and basic scientists.

Teaching is another big area of activity for nonprofit employees. Some NGO employees, for example, work to expand the scientific capacity of less well-off regions.

Nonprofit careers can be found in science policy and advocacy and international diplomacy.

Ethics is an area in which scientists may also develop a nonprofit career. Bioethicist Jennifer Miller launched her own NPO to help the medical industry grapple with everyday and exceptional ethical questions.
