CCST Science Fellows
Meet the 2021 CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows
The 2021 class of CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows marks our 12th year of placing PhD scientists and engineers directly into legislative offices and committees, and now includes placements in Executive Branch offices.
In a first for the program, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's class reported for their November training virtually, for an online version of our training program. To date, 128 CCST Science Fellows have now been trained to work directly with decision makers as trusted staff.
CCST Science Fellows Alumni
Over 10 years, CCST Science Fellows have worked on over 1,000 bills, briefings, hearings, and bill analyses. There are now 113 alumni of the program, many of whom serve in positions in legislative offices and agencies.
The findings of a 2019 evaluation show that the fellowship has been tremendously impactful and has created a very strong reputation among fellows and mentors. Of the fellows surveyed, 88% report currently working in a position that includes both science and policy.
