CRS accepts a limited number of volunteer
interns each year. Although most interns are graduate students, exceptional
undergraduate students are also welcome to apply. Volunteer interns assist
professional CRS staff in performing research and reference in response to
public policy-related issues and questions. Through this work, volunteers
have an opportunity to participate in the legislative process and to develop
valuable research skills in a public policy setting. CRS is organized into six interdisciplinary research divisions: American Law; Domestic Social Policy; Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade; Government and Finance; Knowledge Services Group; and Resources, Science and Industry. Within each division, CRS staff are organized into smaller sections, which focus on specific areas of public policy. The work of the CRS research divisions is supported by five infrastructure offices:Congressional Affairs and Counselor to the Director; Finance and Administration; Legislative Information; and Workforce Development. CRS is headed by a Director, who is appointed by the Librarian of Congress with the consent of the Joint Committee on the Library. The current Director of the Congressional Research Service is Daniel P. Mulhollan. His Deputy Director is Angela M. Evans. |
