September 2013: July 2013 Archives
Deadline: September 5, 2013
Length: 12 weeks
Comments: Several internships provide early career individuals with the
opportunity to 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 where they are assigned to a mentor and learn
about the world of science and technology policy. 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. Current graduate and professional school students
and those who have completed graduate studies (degree awarded) within
the last five years may apply. Stipends of $8,500 to offset living
expenses during the fellowship period.
