2-169 - SRCD Policy Fellowship Panel and Reception

Fri, March 22, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Baltimore Convention Center, Floor: Level 3, Room 314

Session Type: Conversation Roundtable

Integrative Statement

This session will include both a panel presentation and a reception. The panel will include an overview of the SRCD Policy Fellowship Program and presentations by current SRCD Policy Fellows working at both the federal and state level. The fellows will discuss the work they are focusing on at their placements and their experiences as fellows. The reception will provide an opportunity to interact one-on-one with current and former fellows and those who work closely with the SRCD Policy Fellowship Program. The SRCD Policy Fellowship Program allows developmental researchers from various disciplines and at different stages of their careers to serve as “resident scholars” in policy settings. Federal fellows are placed in either U.S. congressional offices or federal executive branch agencies, while state fellows are placed in state executive branch agencies. The federal fellowship is for post-doctoral fellows, whereas the state fellowship includes both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows. The goals of the fellowship include (1) to contribute to the use of developmental science in the formation of public policy, (2) to educate the scientific community about the development of public policy, and (3) to establish a more effective liaison between developmental scientists and the policymaking process.
