Policy Fellowship Announcement



We are now
accepting applications for the 2011 State Policy Fellowship, an initiative of
the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (www.cbpp.org), a national policy
institute, and the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of
influential state policy organizations.  Its goal is to help build a
diverse generation of future leaders who will shape state policies that affect
disadvantaged families and communities.  With the overwhelming majority of
states expected to continue to face budget shortfalls in the coming years that
could lead to severe cuts in public services, fellows will play a particularly
vital role in affecting budget policies of importance to low- and
moderate-income families and contributing to the fiscal policy dialogue moving
states forward.



The Fellowship
is sponsored the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a national policy
institute, and the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of public
policy organizations in over 30 states that participate in debates over budget
and tax issues and other issues in their states that affect disadvantaged
communities and families.  



Below are key

organization belonging to the nationwide SFAI network or with the Center's
state fiscal division in Washington, D.C.



·         Fellows
will research and write analyses on current policy issues; brief policymakers,
journalists, and others on these issues; and serve as a resource for advocates
and community groups.



·         Each
fellow will receive an annual salary of $45,000 - $50,000 (regional salary
adjustments may be applied to higher-cost locations).  In addition, health
benefits will be included.



·         Fellows
will participate in a career development program that includes a week-long
seminar in Washington, D.C. and additional training and professional
development opportunities, including national policy conferences.
Additionally, fellows will be partnered with mentors who are leaders in their
field.



·         To be
eligible for the program, candidates must 1) have a graduate degree in public
policy, public affairs, economics, social work, public health, law, or a
related field by August 2011, 2) have a strong academic record, and 3)
be eligible to work in the United States for the two-year duration of the
program.



Application
requirements include a personal essay, resume, copies of undergraduate and
graduate transcripts, and two letters of recommendation.  Completed
applications must be submitted by January 14, 2011, but we encourage
applicants to apply earlier.  The fellowship will begin in the latter part
