Each year roughly 35 Colloquium participants meet with congressional staff, members of congress, leading officials from the executive branch, and prominent policy experts. The cohort also works through group exercises and policy simulations to learn about the interplay of policy, politics, and procedure in the United States Federal policy process.<br class=""><br class="">Members of the cohort develop a solid foundation of understanding for policy engagement and build strong professional networking connections. As a result, the Summer Policy Colloquium is often a career-shaping experience for participants. Alumni of the program have gone on to work in Congress, the White House, executive branch agencies, and in prominent leadership positions throughout the weather, water, and climate community.<br class=""><br class="">Participation in the Colloquium is open to all but will be limited to 40 individuals. The deadline to <a href="https://www.ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/policy/summer-policy-colloquium/register/" target="_blank" class="">register</a> is <b class="">April 15, 2020</b>.<br class=""><br class="">The national competition for support from the National Science Foundation is open to graduate students from all universities, postdocs, and faculty from HBCUs and MSIs. Those <a href="https://www.ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/policy/summer-policy-colloquium/nsf/" target="_blank" class="">seeking NSF funding must apply</a> by <b class="">March 20, 2020</b>.<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Questions?</b> Contact William H.
