Summary
The Idaho Science & Technology Policy Fellowship (ISTPF) is a nonpartisan program that connects science with policy by fostering a network of science, social science and engineering leaders who understand government and policymaking and are prepared to develop and implement solutions to address societal challenges. The ISTPF provides opportunities for outstanding scientists, social scientists and engineers to learn firsthand about policymaking while using their knowledge and skills to address pressing challenges facing Idaho. Fellows support decision makers in Idaho, serving in yearlong assignments across state agencies. Fellows address challenges facing Idaho such as water, energy, fire, public health and economic development. The fellowship program is similar to a program started nearly 50 years ago by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which places scientists and engineers in fellowships to support Congress, executive branch agencies and the judiciary. The California Council on Science and Technology in partnership with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Simons Foundation provided startup funding for the ISTPF. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and individual contributions are supporting the first cohort. Idaho is one of 21 states developing a science policy fellowship program at the state government level.
