Information for Applicants "Instead of being assigned a single project, my mentor involved me in multiple mission areas of the host office and invited me to meetings with individuals from the headquarters, field site, national labs, and other participating groups.
The program strongly reinforced my interest in working in the federal government and helped me gain experiences for additional fellowship programs in policy, while also tying into my dissertation research."

Everyone I connected with was friendly and open to meeting to discuss their work."
