Policy Outreach Award

The Policy Outreach Award, generously supported by the Raymond Frankel Foundation, supports focused engagement between scholars and practitioners that builds on a Bridging the Gap New Voices in National Security workshop, with the purpose of informing policy or practice. This engagement could include follow-on meetings between scholar and practitioner workshop participants that extend the workshop conversations and/or meetings between a scholar participant and practitioners who did not attend the workshop that center on a key workshop theme.

The award will be a $1,500 stipend to support air travel, accommodations, and meals. To be eligible, scholars must have participated in a New Voices workshop for which Bridging the Gap is soliciting Policy Outreach Award applications. The opportunity is open to scholars based in the U.S. regardless of citizenship.
