The Stimson Center’s Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program

The Stimson Center’s Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program is launching a new professional development and mentorship program for students and young professionals interested in conducting foreign policy research. The “Foreign Policy Futures” program is currently accepting applications from undergraduate students, graduate students, and young professionals with less than five years of relevant experience to join this year’s cohort. Applications will be open until Monday, February 17, 2025, and we would appreciate your help in spreading the word.

We are looking for individuals who are interested in a career in U.S. foreign policy and want to make professional connections, practice asking and answering critical research questions, and develop their writing skills on foreign policy topics. This year-long program will give participants access to both exclusive networking meetings and guidance from our team of accomplished foreign policy scholars as they conduct their own, independent research. At the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to present on this research and contribute to a joint publication to go on the Stimson website.

All information on the program, including important dates and how to apply can be found online within the "Foreign Policy Futures" page.
