Table 1.
Criteria for establishing if there was science communication and/or co-production internship courses at each R1 institution.
Fig 1.
Graphical representation of R1 Institutions in the US. R1 institutions not awarded an NRT program (circles) and NRT programs awarded (triangles) are also shown.
Institutions are described as having a graduate level science communication course (light green), a possible course (light blue), or no course (dark blue). For example, an institution that was awarded an NRT but does not have a science communication course would be indicated with a dark blue triangle. The map is projected using a rectangular projection.
Fig 2.
Graduate level science communication courses that met the criteria were grouped into common departmental themes.
Unique classifications like “Graduate” indicate that the course was generalized and offered by the Graduate School, “Online” indicates that the course was only offered online, and the course does not appear to be housed in a specific department.
Fig 3.
Graduate level science communication courses that did not meet the criteria were grouped into common departmental themes.
Unique classifications like “Graduate” indicate that the course was generalized and offered by the Graduate School, “Online” indicates that the course was only offered online, and the course does not appear to be housed in a specific department.

Words that appeared more frequently are larger and words that appeared less frequently are smaller.
