Stride for Science

Held in conjunction with SBM's Annual Meeting, the Stride for Science Run/Walk is our annual 5k that takes place on the Thursday evening of the conference. In 2025, SBM will be hosting the first-ever Field Day Frenzy: a new Stride for Science event dedicated to raising crucial funds for the Science Communication Fund and disseminating evidence-based research to our communities. Held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, participants will engage in a variety of physical activities, both competitive and non-competitive, suitable for all fitness levels.

When you participate in the Stride for Science, you are not only supporting the enhanced communication of scientific ideas but also contributing to the broader positive changes in how science is understood, perceived, and utilized in society. Your small steps lead to significant advancements and improvements in science communication, clinical, and population health.

Creating Impact, One Stride at a Time

Over $50,000 raised for science communication through the Stride for Science Run/Walk since 2022 - increasing the public’s access to our members’ research.

  • Allows SBM to help you foster connections with your peers and colleagues through events such as our Annual Meeting and Run/Walk

  • Enables SBM create more opportunities to translate member expertise in to real-world impact

  • Helps members disseminate their research results beyond the traditional behavioral medicine community and stop the spread of health misinformation through resources such as our Sci Comm Toolkit and Healthy Living articles.

  • Provides funding for the SBM Leading the Narrative Awards
