AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowship Program: If you have a PhD or an equivalent degree in one of the social, physical or biological sciences, or are an engineer with a master's degree and at least three years of post-degree professional experience, you are eligible to apply for a one-year AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowship. The prestigious fellowship programs are designed to provide each qualified individual with a unique public-policy learning experience and to bring technical backgrounds and external perspectives to decision-making in the U.S. government. AAAS is proud to sponsor these programs to facilitate science/government interaction.
