What US Policy Fellowships does
US Policy Fellowships is not a standalone operating nonprofit; it is the “US policy fellowships” opportunity collection presented on 80,000 Hours’ job board, pointing job-seekers to US-based fellowships and policy-related career pathways. The underlying fellowship database and guides are maintained as a resource by the Horizon Institute for Public Service through its Emerging Technology Policy Careers platform. Horizon is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that aims to help the US government address a shortage of emerging-technology policy talent by supporting technologists and subject-matter experts as they transition into public service careers. Through the Emerging Tech Policy Careers site, Horizon publishes a fellowship database (including policy fellowships across career stages) and companion guides, and it also runs fellowship and career-support programs (e.g., training/placement-oriented fellowships and career-acceleration support) that complement the evergreen opportunity content.
