reference

The same group of fellows are associated with various think tanks and often have experience working in government bureaucracies (see figure below). For example, Nina Shokraii Rees “helped to draft the blueprint” for the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation whilst at the Heritage Foundation, then went to work in the Department of Education to help implement it.
