- FDA Commissioner’s Fellowship Program
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched a two-year fellowship program aimed at attracting scientists, engineers and health professionals to the agency. The FDA Commissioner’s Fellowship Program will provide participants with advanced training in the scientific analysis involved in the safety and regulatory decisions unique to the agency’s mission. The Program will include coursework and extensive hands-on experience in FDA regulatory science including regulatory review opportunities. Fellows will devote about 70 percent of their time to the scientific project and 30 percent to coursework. The agency is seeking physicians, microbiologists, chemists, statisticians, pharmacists, biomedical engineers, nutritionists, veterinarians and other science professionals. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in medicine or another scientific field; engineers must have at least a bachelor’s degree. More information about the FDA Commissioner’s Fellowship Program and instructions for applicants are available at http://www.fda.gov/commissionersfellowships/program.html.
- Science Education Programs- Undergraduate and Graduate Internships, Scholarships, and Research Programs The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is a U.S. Department of Energy institute focusing on scientific initiatives to research health risks from occupational hazards, assess environmental cleanup, respond to radiation medical emergencies, support national security and emergency preparedness, and educate the next generation of scientists.

- Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy
Graduate Fellowship Program, Washington, D.C.
This Graduate Fellowship Program of the National
Academies—consisting of the National Academy
of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute
of Medicine, and National Research Council—is
designed to engage graduate and postdoctoral students
in science and technology policy and to familiarize
them with the interactions among science, technology,
and government. As a result, students in the fields
of science, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine,
business, and law develop essential skills different
from those attained in academia, which will help
them make the transition from being a graduate student
to a professional. To
apply, candidates should submit an application and
request that a mentor/adviser fill out a reference
form. Both forms are available on the Web at:http://national-academies.org/policyfellows.
Additional details about the program and a link
to join the mailing list are available on the Web
site. Questions should be directed to: policyfellows@nas.edu.
