AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowships

This fellowship program is designed to provide a unique public policy learning experience and to provide insight into the decision-making processes of the Foundation. It demonstrates the value of science and engineering in addressing critical national societal concerns, expose exemplary scientists and engineers to government service, and provide fresh technical perspectives and knowledge to NSF programs. Fellows have the opportunity to advise and participate in many aspects of NSF activities, including exposure to the Foundation's merit review process. Fellows will gain important insight into the role of science and engineering in the overall U.S. policy framework and into how priorities are determined in these areas.
