Note – summer internship appears to be unpaid, but the fellowship for recent graduates is a paid, benefits-eligible position

Dear Susan and Alicia,
Please see below and attached. I’m very familiar with STPI as it is an NSF FFRDC that does a lot of work for NSF -- and in fact recently completed a good analysis of EPSCoR.
I’ll leave it up to you as to how you want to handle Mark’s message. It’s a shame the internship is unpaid -- I can’t imagine students who aren’t in the DC area being able to go their on their own dime. The fellowship is a paid, benefits-eligible position.
Thanks!
Kelvin

Kelvin,
This may be of interest to some of our top students. Their focus looks broader than my usual suspects (meteorology, geography), so maybe you have ways to bring this to the attention of relevant departments across campus. Note that the
summer internship appears to be unpaid.

Hi All,
The Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) has two opportunities that may be of interest to undergraduates and graduate students on your teams. I'm attaching flyers for both the Summer
Associate Program (10 week internship open to graduate students and rising seniors) and the Science Policy Fellowship Program (open to recent bachelor's degree recipients).
If you're not familiar with STPI, they provide expert support to OSTP and other government organizations (including NSF and the National Science Board). They do program evaluation, identification
of best practices, and analysis of policy options, among other functions.
If you have any questions about the programs, feel free to get in touch with Rebecca Miller at STPI directly ([log in to unmask]).
Cheers,
Sarah
