Welcome to the Host Office Liaison Portal
Thank you for your interest in interviewing finalists for the 2025-2026 AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships (STPF). Placement interviews are an essential component of the placement process. STPF will continue with Finalist Interview Week this year from Monday, May 12 – Friday, May 16, 2025, virtually.
You will be able to pre-schedule interviews via this portal from Monday, April 28 through Monday, May 5 at noon. Scheduling will re-open on the Monday of Finalist Interview Week after finalists have had a chance to review their schedules. Please do not contact any of the candidates directly until Finalist Interview Week. The full program timeline and the FAQs page provide additional information.
STPF recorded an instructional video that gives an overview of the placement process, including a walkthrough of the online portal, best practices for interviews, and more. A copy of the slides from the instructional video can be viewed here: STPF Placement Process Overview for Host Offices. We strongly recommend that offices both new and returning review the recording to ensure that they are aware of current policies, procedures, and best practices.
REMINDER: Finalists’ application materials are confidential. Documents are not to be distributed beyond host office supervisors and mentors and individuals conducting interviews.
