Commerce Science and Technology Fellowship (ComSci) Program

The 10-month Commerce Science and Technology Fellowship (ComSci) Program (www.comsci.gov) is a policy study and leadership program that gives senior level Executive Branch employees (GS-13 level and above) the opportunity to study national and international issues that drive the development, application, and management of science and technology-related policy. The program provides an opportunity for participants to gain a wide and rich perspective of science and technology policy and practice in the Federal government, to gain valuable career experience, and to extend their professional network beyond the limits of their agency. Two Program Options are available 1. Full-time Program - With Work Assignment: A 10-month intensive and challenging work assignment on Capitol Hill or in an Executive Branch agency (in the Washington Metropolitan Area) designed to provide participants with policy-making and program management experience. 2. Part-time Program - Without Work Assignment: Participants continue working at their home agencies throughout the 10-month program. This option is best suited for those based in the Washington Metropolitan Area or who are able to commute on a weekly basis to participate in the ComSci Program seminars and site visits. Participation in this program is based on a competitive selection process.
