§6104 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

An agency head can send an employee who wins a Mansfield Fellowship to work at the Center for up to 2 years. Before getting the fellowship, the employee must sign a written agreement to stay with their agency for at least 2 years after the fellowship ends, unless they are involuntarily separated. If they voluntarily leave their agency before that time, they must repay extra government costs tied to the fellowship. They do not have to repay if they move to another federal agency, unless their original agency tells them before the transfer that repayment will be required. While detailed to the Center, the fellow is treated as still working for their original agency for pay, benefits, seniority, and other rights, and those payments come from that agency’s funds. The Center can host fellows without reimbursing the U.S. and may pay certain allowances and benefits listed in law.
