Scholarship Description: The fellowship program, which operates under the auspices of the
Policy and Global Affairs Division of the National Academies, is designed to
engage early career professionals in the analytical processes that inform U.S.
science and technology policy. Fellows obtain the essential skills and
knowledge needed to work in science policy at the federal, state, or local
levels. What to Expect During the program, fellows engage in studies and
activities throughout the National Academies. Examples of former fellows’
projects include: Outlining themes related to leading research in remote
sensing applications; A workshop on how scientists in developing countries
might take better advantage of new wireless communication networks to gain
access to the Internet; A workshop on the ethical, legal, and societal issues
associated with the emerging field of synthetic biology; A background paper on
the state of knowledge of the demography of street-children and the cost and
effectiveness of existing programs that help street-children and orphans in the
U.S. and abroad; A concept paper exploring the status of the global research
university. 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.
