STPF Fellowships Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee of the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships (STPF) is a dedicated group of professionals – many of whom are alumni fellows – who volunteer their service and expertise to strengthen the STPF program for the good of science and society. The Committee provides input and counsel to the program on strategic planning and major policy and programmatic issues. The Committee also reviews and approves applications by scientific and engineering societies to partner with STPF.
