Administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the PMF program is designed to attract to federal service outstanding graduate-level students from a wide variety of academic disciplines who have an interest in, and commitment to, a career in the analysis and management of public policies and programs.

The PMF program is a two-year program. Initial PMF appointments are at the GS-9 level ($41,815 - $54,360 per year). After successful completion of the first year, PMFs are eligible for promotion to the GS-11 level ($50,593 - $65,769 per year). Upon successful completion of the second year, PMFs are eligible for conversion to a permanent federal civil service position and promotion to the GS-12 level ($60,638 - $78,826 per year). Over 100 government organizations, including the Congressional Research Service, participate in the PMF program. PMFs choose the location for their initial two-year appointment from among these organizations.
