US National Academies suspends popular science programme.
The US National Academies has suspended a fellowship programme popular with early-career scientists seeking science-policy careers. Spokesman Bill Skane says that the National Academies Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program is seeking new sources of funding, in part because an endowment from the Carnegie Corporation of New York expires this year. So far, the programme's winter–spring 2013 session has been cancelled. The fellowship, launched in 1997, supports about 50 fellows each year and costs between US$750,000 and $1 million a year, including direct expenses and stipends.
