2008 Jefferson
Science Fellowship Program The articulation of "accurate science for state" to policy makers has become an essential element in establishing effective international relationships in the 21st century. Recognizing this need, the U.S. Department of State created the Jefferson Science Fellows (JSF) program which established a new model for engaging the American academic STE communities in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy. The JSF program is administered by the National Academies and supported through a partnership between American philanthropic foundations (the MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation), the U.S. STE academic community, professional scientific societies, and the U.S. Department of State.
