Agency Engagement Proposal

We are currently accepting engagement submissions through July 30, 2023 for the next cohort of Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) . We recommend first writing your proposal in a separate document then pasting your answers into the form, as the form does not save progress.

Preferred projects
Fellows work on building agency innovation capabilities, tackling hard mission problems, shaping smarter policy, and/or delivering technology. Essential project criteria include:

• Problem is of critical agency and/or national priority
• Clear line to positive impact, benefit, or customer experience for the public
• Early-stage initiative with room for fellows to shape, define, and lead
• Fellows work directly at the leadership level of programs/agencies

Please fill out the following form to kick off the exploratory process to work with the PIF program. Here is an example of a good engagement description for reference. Feel free to contact us at pif-intake@gsa.gov with any questions.
