2)   An OPPAGA Supplemental Application
The supplemental application is also available in MS Word Format.

3)  One writing sample of two to five pages
The writing sample should be a recent (within the past 5 years) evaluation report, policy analysis, or other product involving the presentation of research or information, authored by the applicant. If this is not available and the applicant submits a report of more than 5 pages, he or she should designate an excerpt of no more than 5 pages to be used as the sample. If the document was co-authored, the applicant should briefly explain the extent to which the document reflects his or her work. If no suitable recent writing sample is available, the applicant should submit a two-page discussion identifying one policy issue faced by state governments, and the potential research questions and methods that would help inform policy-makers' efforts to craft an effective and efficient policy. The writing sample can be included with the application, or it can be submitted electronically to brown.byron@oppaga.fl.gov.
