Description
The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) Public Policy Fellowship provides early-career biomedical researchers, including postdoctoral fellows and junior scientists, with a unique, year-long opportunity to participate in public policy and legislative activities relevant to immunology. Fellows gain hands-on experience in science advocacy, policy-making, and communication with policymakers, while remaining at their home institutions. The program aims to empower scientists to become effective advocates for NIH funding and evidence-based science policy, bridging the gap between research and public policy.
