Codifies Eagleton Science and Politics Fellowship Program at Eagleton Institute of Politics; makes appropriation.
This bill establishes the Eagleton Science and Politics Fellowship Program at Rutgers' Eagleton Institute of Politics, authorizing state funding for six annual fellowships. It targets scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals with doctoral degrees (PhD or equivalent) in natural sciences, engineering, or healthcare, placing three fellows with New Jersey's Legislature and three with the Executive Branch for one-year, full-time terms. Each fellow receives a $60,000 stipend plus health benefits, administered by Rutgers' Eagleton Institute. The bill appropriates $338,000 annually for stipends and program administration, codifying an existing program that has operated for several years.
