The aim is to foster scientifically informed, evidence-based policy and practice by engaging scientists and engineers from a broad range of disciplines, backgrounds and career stages to directly contribute their knowledge and analytical skills to the federal government; to learn first-hand about policymaking and implementation at the federal level; and to build leadership for a strong science and technology enterprise that benefits all people.
The AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships place Fellows in Congressional offices and executive branch agencies to provide the opportunity to increase the involvement and visibility of accomplished scientists and engineers in the public policy realm.
