It is a fellowship program which I think may interest your subscribers. The American Association for the Advancement of Science invites applications for one-year public policy fellowships, which bring scientists and engineers to Washington, DC, to work in Congress, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the RAND Critical Technologies Institute. Persons with a master's degree in engineering and at least three years of post-degree professional experience may also apply. Federal employees are not eligible for the fellowships. The programs are designed to provide each Fellow with a unique public policy learning experience and to bring technical backgrounds and external perspectives to decision making in the U.S. government.
Stipends vary by program.
