            Christine Mirzayan Science &amp; Technology Policy Graduate
            Fellowship Program is designed to engage early career
            individuals in the analytical processes that inform U.S.
            science and technology policy.&nbsp; Fellows obtain the essential
            skills and knowledge needed to work in science and
            technology policy at the federal, state, or local levels.&nbsp;
            Fellows spend 12 weeks at the National Academies in
            Washington, DC learning about science and technology policy
            and the role that scientists and engineers play in advising
            the nation. Each year, applicants from around the world
            become part of a National Academies committee, board, or
            unit.&nbsp; Each fellow is assigned to a senior staff member who
            acts as his or her mentor. The mentor provides guidance and
            ensures that the fellow&#8217;s time is focused on substantive
            projects and activities within the fellow&#8217;s assigned unit. &nbsp;
            An immersive experience, the program is designed to broaden
            fellows&#8217; appreciation of employment opportunities outside
            academia and leave them with both a firm grasp of the
            important and dynamic role of science and technology in
            decision-making and a better understanding of the role that
            they can play in strengthening the science and technology
