APA seeks applications for its Congressional Fellowship and Executive Branch Science Fellowship programs. These opportunities allow a select number of psychologists to spend a year in Washington, D.C., where they receive first-hand experience with federal policymaking and agency research and funding.
Congressional Fellows work as special legislative aides in congressional member or committee offices and engage in a diverse range of policymaking activities on vital issues. There are special designations for midcareer/senior professionals and experts in health and behavior issues, and APF supports a specialized Congressional Fellowship for developmental and clinical psychologists with experience working with children.
Executive Branch Science Fellows work as a special assistant in a federal agency on topics ranging from science policy to research administration. Past placements have included the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Justice, and U.S. Agency for International Development.
