[The
text below is from the announcement that I received.]
Last
summer, the White House launched the Presidential Innovation
Fellows program,
which teams top innovators from the private sector, non-profits,
and academia
with top innovators in government to work collaboratively during
focused 6-12
month “tours of duty” to develop solutions that can save lives,
save taxpayer
money, and fuel job creation.
The
first round of Fellows has produced remarkable results,
reimagining the way
citizens engage with government services and information, opening
up government
data as fuel for entrepreneurship and innovation, enabling
millions of veterans
and other Americans to securely download their own health
information, and
more.
I’m
thrilled to let you know that today, the White House launched
Round 2 of the
Presidential Innovation Fellows program (#InnovateGov), focused on
nine
exciting projects, and has begun accepting applications at http://www.whitehouse.gov/InnovationFellows.
The
Presidential Innovation Fellows program offers a unique
opportunity for
Americans to work together to advance the public good and have an
impact on a
national scale. Whether as an applicant, someone who can encourage
friends
to apply, or someone who would like to follow and support the
Fellows’
projects, we invite you to join the team!
Yours
