US Embassy Policy Specialist Program
Program Overview
The US Embassy Policy Specialist Program (EPS) was established in 2005 to support US embassies and consulates overseas by providing policy specialists-in-residence. While serving at the embassy or consulate the specialists also conduct their own research. To date, EPS fellows have served missions in Baku, Azerbaijan; Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Dushanbe, Tajikistan; Ekaterinburg, Russia; and Vladivostok, Russia. EPS fellowships are one to two months. Grant length and dates are determined in consultation with the specific embassy or consulate. Examples of embassy service can include conducting field research, writing policy papers, consulting embassy staff, and assisting with grant panels. EPS is funded by the US Department of State’s Title VIII Program.
