- The United States Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Office of the Director intends to issue an award to American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) on a sole source basis. �Award will be made pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 and 41USC 253(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency needs. The AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships program (STPF) pursues a vision of public policy informed by science and engineering for the benefit of society. The mission is to connect science with policy and foster a network of science and engineering leaders who understand government policymaking and are prepared to develop and execute solutions to address societal challenges. This is accomplished by placing competitively selected scientists and engineers in yearlong assignments in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the U.S. Government, to learn first-hand about the use of science and technology in federal government decision making, policy development and implementation, while offering valuable contributions of their knowledge and analytical skills. AAAS partners with federal agencies, with congressional offices and committees, the Federal Judicial Center, and more than 30 professional scientific and engineering associations to operate the Science & Technology Policy Fellowships, which have been providing public service professional development experiences for scientists and engineers since 1973. The result is a network of more than 3,400 alumni who are knowledgeable about conducting and communicating their science to address policy challenges from state to national and international levels, and more effective leaders in the policy arena as well as in academia, industry, and the nonprofit sectors.
