AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships

美国科学促进会(AAAS)和美国国家科学基金会(NSF)将继续合作，通过AAAS科学和技术奖学金计划，为职业生涯早期和中期的科学家和工程师提供有经验的专业发展和公共服务奖学金。与AAAS采用的浸入式模式一致，NSF的研究员将通过竞争程序每年被挑选出来，并被分配到整个基金会的组织中。研究员将与国家科学基金会的工作人员合作开展广泛的活动，以便深入了解国家科学和技术政策目标如何转化为国家科学和技术政策的使命和战略目标并由其反映，以及国家科学和技术政策是如何以及由谁来驱动、制定和优先考虑的。国家科学基金会奖学金任务的目的是：通过亲身实践，教育和让研究员了解国家科学基金会所有基础研究领域的规划、开发和监督活动；利用研究员在项目上的专业知识，向国家科学基金会官员通报研究员和主办组织共同感兴趣的领域；并提供发展机会，为未来的职业决策提供信息。该计划包括对行政部门和国会运作的指导，以及为期一年的知识和技能建设研讨会，涉及联邦和NSF范围内的科学、技术和公共政策。从长远来看，AAAS奖学金计划寻求为强大的国家科学和工程企业建立领导能力。在完成研究金后，研究员将获得：对联邦一级科学、技术、工程和数学政策和倡议的制定和执行以及政策和科学如何相互作用有了更广泛的了解和更多的洞察力；增强了传播科学以支持政策制定的技能；以及更有效地在未来不同环境中发挥领导作用的能力，包括公共和政策领域、学术界和私营部门。该奖学金计划的最终成果是拥有丰富的经验--精通政策的科学和工程师领导者，他们了解政府和政策制定，并接受过良好的培训，能够制定和执行解决方案，以应对国家的挑战。

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) will continue its collaboration in providing to early- and mid-career scientists and engineers experiential professional development and public service fellowships via the AAAS Science and Technology Fellowship Program. Consistent with the immersion model adopted by AAAS, Fellows at NSF will be selected annually through a competitive process and placed in organizations throughout the Foundation. Fellows will work with NSF staff on a broad range of activities in order to gain insight into how national science and technology policy goals are translated into and reflected by NSF's mission and strategic goals and how and by whom national science and technology policy is driven, shaped and prioritized. NSF fellowship assignments are designed to: educate and expose Fellows to NSF programmatic planning, development and oversight activities in all fields of fundamental research via hands-on engagement; utilize the Fellows' expertise on projects that apprise NSF officials in areas of mutual interest to the Fellow and the host organization; and provide developmental opportunities to inform future career decisions. The program includes an orientation on executive branch and congressional operations, as well as a year-long suite of knowledge- and skill-building seminars involving science, technology and public policy within the federal as well as NSF contexts.In the long-term, the AAAS Fellowship program seeks to build leadership capacity for a strong national science and engineering enterprise. Upon completion of the Fellowship, Fellows will have gained: a broader understanding and increased insights about the development and execution of federal-level science, technology, engineering and mathematics policies and initiatives as well as how policy and science intersect; enhanced skills in communicating science to support policy development; and a greater capacity to serve more effectively in future leadership roles in diverse environments, including public and policy arenas, academia and the private sector. The ultimate outcome of the Fellowship program experience -- policy savvy science and engineer leaders who understand government and policymaking and are well-trained to develop and execute solutions to address the nation's challenges.
