Institute for AI Policy and Strategy — program: AI Policy Fellowship — 2025 cohort: 29 fellows from 5,600+ applicants (Sept-Nov 2025, DC). 2026 summer cohort: June-August, $15,000 stipend ($22,000 Senior Fellows). Alumni placed at RAND, Institute for Progress, Center for Health Security.

Note: The source confirms the existence of the 2025 AI Policy Fellowship program and shows individual fellows/senior fellows, with at least one alumna placement at RAND confirmed. However, the source excerpt does not provide the specific quantitative claims (29 fellows, 5,600+ applicants, specific dates, stipend amounts, or comprehensive alumni placements). The source is from the IAPS website about the 2025 cohort, so it is relevant, but it does not contain the detailed statistics and program information claimed. This is a partial confirmation of the program's existence and some details, but most specific claims are unverifiable from this excerpt.
