<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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.</span></p>
