Application Instructions - Agency Partners

If you are unable to complete this application due to a disability, contact [email protected] to ask for an accommodation or an alternative application process.

Please note: this program is only accepting applications for assignments that can be fully funded by an agency

The Partnership recommends that one individual from the participating agency fill out the host agency application form. To move forward with the rest of the application, that individual must click “Next Page” below and complete all fields on the ensuing page. 


Hosting agency information. Applicants will be asked to provide contact information for the primary point of contact responsible for hiring the IPA. The Partnership for Public Service will coordinate the candidate matching and placement process through communications with this individual.


IPA Assignment Details. Agencies interested in hosting an IPA placement will need to convey the details of the potential IPA assignment, list the major duties and responsibilities to be performed by the IPA employee, and note any security concerns relevant to the completion of those duties. Placements must begin at the earliest in spring 2022 and must last for between 12-24 months. IPA placement roles and responsibilities must be consistent with a GS-14 (or high performing GS-13) level. 


IPA Employee Benefits and Restrictions. Host agencies must affirm their ability to fully cover the cost of an IPA assignment. The Partnership also encourages the agency to identify potential ethical concerns of the project assignment in advance of the IPA’s placement and to add those concerns in this section. 


You will be able to review your application before final submission. Please remember to hit the “Submit” button at the very end of this application once your application is complete.
