<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Institution President, Provost, or Chancellor:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to inform you that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), will be accepting applications for the 2021
cohort of Jefferson Science Fellows (JSF). Your institution holds, or has held, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for participation in this program.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The JSF program at the U.S. Department of State and USAID was established by the Secretary of State in 2003 and serves as an innovative model for engaging the American academic science, technology, engineering, and medical communities in
U.S. foreign policy and international development. Since inception, approximately 150 Fellows have served at the U.S. Department of State or USAID, and we are anticipating an opportunity for up to 15 new Fellows to be selected for the 2021-2022 academic year.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The JSF program is open to tenured, or similarly ranked, faculty from U.S. institutions of higher learning who are U.S. citizens. Fellows spend one year on assignment at the U.S. Department of State or USAID serving as advisers on issues
of foreign policy or international development. Assignments are tailored to the needs of the hosting office, while taking into account the Fellows’ interests and areas of expertise. Following the fellowship year, Fellows will return to their academic career
but remain available to the U.S. government as experienced consultants for short-term projects.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The application period will open on August 3 and will close in mid-October. Qualified faculty may apply, with support from their institution as indicated in an MOU with the National Academy of Sciences and may also be nominated by their
institution. I hope you will consider this as an opportunity for one or more of your faculty and encourage or support their application or nomination.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached you will find the current brochure of the program which we encourage you to share with faculty. Additional details on the JSF program can be found on our website at
