Details, Rotations & Pairing Schemes: Programs that bring STEM professionals into temporary policy positions (ranging from a few days of service to full- or part-time employment) with government or non-governmental organizations. These opportunities provide a way for working STEM professionals (e.g. faculty members, industry scientists and others) to contribute their expertise on specific issues/projects while learning about policymaking and building relationships with policymakers and stakeholders.

Fellowships: Remote/virtual and in-person/immersive fellowships with a significant track or focus on the study, development or promotion of “science for policy” (the use of technical knowledge to assist or improve decision making) or “policy for science” (decision making about how to fund and structure the systematic pursuit of knowledge). As opposed to short-term internships, fellowships are typically longer-term experiences of a year or more, full time.
