The ASA has been an active participant in and member of the AAAS Science and Human Rights Coalition since its launch in January 2009. For almost four years, this expanding network of scientific and engineering societies has been working to build bridges between science and human rights. Some of the outputs of the coalition in the past few years include the Primer: Scientific Freedom and Human Rights, a workshop on connecting science, engineering, and human rights beyond human subjects research; the Starter Kit: Helping Your Society Promote Human Rights, a training workshop for human rights practitioners on impact evaluation; and a series of focus groups to determine the meaning of the right to benefit from scientific progress from the perspective of scientists.
