Join us July 10 at 2:00 pm EDT for a one-hour live chat session for your chance to ask current and alumni fellows with similar discipline backgrounds about their fellowship experience, and get answers to your questions about the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowship program and application process for the 2015-16 fellowship class.
Melissa Holtmeyer is a current AAAS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow working in the Office of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on energy and environment related issues, which have included EPA clean air regulations, climate change, renewable energy, Vermont's energy portfolio, and the Keystone XL pipeline. During her time in Senator Sanders office, she has drafted legislation, crafted floor speeches and press releases, and provided guidance on Senate procedure to amend large pieces of legislation. Her Ph.D. is in chemical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis with a focus on reducing pollutant formation and understanding the flame structure of biomass flames using experimental and computational combustion methods. Prior to starting the fellowship, she completed postdoctoral work on advanced combustion techniques using pure oxygen. She has also taught and co-developed courses in heat transfer and interdisciplinary approaches to energy decision-making.
As reported in The Harvard Crimsonon Monday, teaching fellows (Harvard parlance for TAs) for the course this semester will begin holding real-time, online help sessions for students this week. Using free, Java-based software, students can log on, chat with each other (via text or microphone) and even "raise their hands" with the click of a button, which adds them to a queue on the teaching fellow's computer.
After connecting, students find themselves in a program resembling a traditional chat room, but with a window that can show what the instructor is seeing on his or her own computer. To demonstrate programming concepts or debug an assignment, a teaching fellow even has the option to take control of a student's computer and operate it remotely, much like an IT specialist at a corporate help desk.
Despite the queue system, the solution isn't necessarily linear: Teaching fellows can toggle between multiple windows, helping some students while others try to make progress on their work on their own.

You can remove purple or green fringes caused by lens chromatic aberrations with the Defringe tool on Lightroom desktop. This tool reduces some of the colorful artifacts that the Remove Chromatic Aberration tool cannot remove. Click the Defringe icon under the Optics panel and use the Fringe Selector to sample a green or purple hue in the photograph to remove the fringe.
Vom Saal is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a recipient of the Heinz Foundation award in environmental science, and has more than 220 publications with over 24,000 citations.
Applications submitted for the August 8 and December 8 deadlines are generally funded 6-7 months later. In contrast, applications submitted for the April 8 deadline cannot be funded until December at the earliest. Once a fellowship has been awarded, you have 6 months to activate (start) it.
The most recent forms and instructions for the F32 fellowship application can be accessed through the NIH Web site for unsolicited applications at _announcements.htm. Check the F32 program announcement for the most recent details for submitting an application. (Current forms and instructions are at )
Postdoctoral researchers, regardless of age, are eligible to apply for F32 fellowships. Senior fellowships (F33s) are for established, independent investigators who want to make major changes in their research career (see ).
You should discuss this issue with your postdoctoral sponsor. If money is tight, your sponsor may suggest that you apply for a fellowship while you are still in graduate school so that you can activate (start) your fellowship as soon as you begin your postdoc, or shortly thereafter. Keep in mind, though, that your new research topic will not be as familiar to you as it will be later, after you've started the project, so the research plan that you describe may be naive or overambitious. Moreover, it will be easier to get help with your application from your new sponsor after you have started working in that person's lab.
If you do decide to apply for a fellowship while you're still in graduate school, be sure that you and your graduate advisor agree on when you're likely to complete your Ph.D. requirements so that you can make a logical decision about when to submit your fellowship application (see related FAQs here and here).
Most likely, yes. Whether the environment offers opportunities for new training is one of the criteria that reviewers of fellowship applications evaluate. If you do your postdoc in the same laboratory in which you did your graduate research, your application will not be competitive, even if you are working on an entirely different project. If you move to a new lab but stay in the same department, this could still count against you, but not as severely.
If a manuscript is accepted for publication after you submit your fellowship application, but before the application is reviewed, you should contact the SRO (scientific review officer) who runs the study section in which your application will be reviewed to discuss the possibility of submitting an updated publication list (see related FAQ). This is especially important if your publication record is modest or if your paper is likely to have a major impact on the field.
A. NRSA postdoctoral fellowships are for training, and training potential is one of the criteria that reviewers and program staff evaluate. However, if you are learning lots of new skills and techniques, becoming familiar with a new system, or studying a new aspect of the organism that you worked with in graduate school, it may make sense for you to apply for a fellowship. If your postdoctoral work is in the same general area as your graduate work, you should emphasize the opportunities for new training and explain how that new training relates to your long-term career goals.
If you took an RCR course in graduate school or earlier in your postdoctoral career, you do not have to take another one if you took the course within 2 years of when you apply for the fellowship. In your application, you should provide a brief description of the course and indicate when you took it.
In general, the more time you spend in your sponsor's lab, the fewer opportunities you have for new training. Training potential is one of the major criteria that reviewers assess when they evaluate fellowship applications (see related FAQ). Accordingly, if you revise your application, consider requesting a shorter term (e.g., 2 years, if you requested 3 years in your original application), scaling down the scope of the proposed research and emphasizing the opportunities for new training. If you do decide to request a 3-year term, be aware that if your revised application is funded, you will almost certainly get less than 3 years of support, per NIGMS policy (see related FAQ).
Most applications are reviewed in study sections that specialize in fellowships. Typically, three to four members of a study section are assigned to review each application. The reviewers receive the application approximately 5 weeks before the study section meets. Before the meeting, reviewers assigned to an application give a preliminary impact score. Reviewers also give separate scores and report individually for each of five core review criteria: (1) candidate, (2) sponsor and collaborators, (3) research training plan, (4) training potential and (5) training environment (see related FAQ). When the study section meets, each reviewer summarizes his/her evaluation of the application and then the reviewers and other study section members discuss the application. After the application is discussed, every eligible member of the study section gives a final priority score and the assigned reviewers submit their final written critiques to the SRO.
