Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program.
The online application is available at:

We encourage you to share this information with qualified individuals.
The Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship
Program is designed to engage early career individuals in the analytical
processes that inform U.S. science and technology policy. Fellows
obtain the essential skills and knowledge needed to work in science and
technology policy at the federal, state, or local levels. 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. 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's time
is focused on substantive projects and activities within the fellow's
assigned unit. An immersive experience, the program is designed to
broaden fellows' 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 enterprise for the betterment of mankind.
