Presidential Innovation Fellows | Washington, DC | ONSITE | Full-time
The Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) program is looking for high-performing data scientists, designers, engineers, executives, innovators, product managers, and technology strategists that care deeply about solving our nation’s most difficult challenges and want to deliver better products, services, and experiences to the American public.
The program is a highly selective, non-partisan, innovation fellowship that pairs talented mid-to-senior-level entrepreneurs and technologists with top government leaders to take on complex projects that have the potential for significant impact. It was launched in 2012 by former U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, and since then, more than 150 Fellows have worked within over 35 agencies. Over half of the Fellows have decided to stay in government after the program, and have gone on to lead new digital teams and serve as chief technology officers, chief information officers, chief data officers, and chief marketing officers at various agencies.
Fellows are building products and services at scale to serve all Americans. Select potential projects for the Fall 2020 cohort include:
• Assisting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid modernize their technology stack so they can better share data with stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem.
• Helping NASA speed up the discovery, analysis and development of aerospace systems using artificial intelligence to ultimately help combat climate change by reducing fuel burn for the aerospace industry.
• Working with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to better support veterans transitioning from military to civilian life, adopt medical innovations to improve mental health services and health outcomes, and reduce the processing time for benefits claims.
• Collaborating with multiple federal agencies to drive the adoption of AI technologies across government.
• Ensuring that the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a U.S. foreign aid agency, and their partner countries have the data, technology, and innovations skills needed to maximize the impact of U.S. investments.
• Guiding the Department of Transportation as they adapt to the challenges and opportunities that autonomous vehicles and aerial systems offer.
• Helping the U.S. Marine Corps conduct a digital and data transformation to keep Marines safe.
