<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/science-policy-fellowship">Science Policy Fellowship – NASEM Gulf Research Program</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fellowship Opportunity | Apply by February 26, 2025<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is accepting applications for our Science Policy Fellowship through February 26, 2025. The GRP’s Science Policy Fellowship helps scientists
hone their skills by putting them to practice for the benefit of Gulf Coast communities and ecosystems. Fellows gain first-hand experience as they spend one year on the staff of federal, state, local, or non-governmental agencies working in environmental,
natural resource, offshore energy, and public health fields in the Gulf of Mexico region.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Stipend and Benefits</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fellows who have completed an MA, MS, or MPH/MSPH degree or who are currently enrolled in a doctoral program will receive an annual stipend of $58,000. Fellows who have completed a PhD, ScD, EngD, MD, DrPH, or DVM will receive an annual
stipend of $63,000. The GRP has increased the stipend amounts to account for cost of living increases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the stipend, each fellow will receive an annual health allowance of $5,500, which will be added to the stipend package. The annual health allowance is intended to offset the cost of health insurance and/or to offset the cost
of healthcare-related needs during the term of the fellowship. The stipend package will be paid directly to the fellow in monthly disbursements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fellows will also receive a $1,500 one-time payment prior to or at the beginning of the fellowship term to defray costs associated with relocation. No other relocation costs will be reimbursed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
