Understanding the outcomes and impacts from PhD policy fellowship schemes: Report to the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology
This report contains a review of PhD fellowships in parliament. This was as part of a Parliamentary Academic Fellowship hosted by POST and funded by the ESRC and Public Policy|Southampton.
The resarech found that POST Fellowships can clearly be a career, if not life-changing, experience and they have led to several Fellows achieving positions of significant policy influence. Even for those that ultimately take up jobs in academia, undertaking a policy-focused Fellowship gave them a new appreciation of where their research fits into the science-policy landscape and often provided focus when applying for grants or publishing papers. For Parliament, POST Fellows not only contribute significantly during their time with us, they also contribute to improving the culture in the House and often ultimately end up working within the House of Commons or House of Lords.

Abstract
This report contains a review of PhD fellowships in parliament. This was as part of a Parliamentary Academic Fellowship hosted by POST and funded by the ESRC and Public Policy|Southampton.
The resarech found that POST Fellowships can clearly be a career, if not life-changing, experience and they have led to several Fellows achieving positions of significant policy influence. Even for those that ultimately take up jobs in academia, undertaking a policy-focused Fellowship gave them a new appreciation of where their research fits into the science-policy landscape and often provided focus when applying for grants or publishing papers. For Parliament, POST Fellows not only contribute significantly during their time with us, they also contribute to improving the culture in the House and often ultimately end up working within the House of Commons or House of Lords.
