Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the major operation components of the Department of Health and Human Services. CDC works to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same.
Research Project: The research fellow will gain experience with analysis of large databases in DDT’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, Economics and Statistics Branch (SEESB), as part of the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Initiative. This project will provide critical support to the CDC’s CKD Initiative to examine changes in prevalence of comorbidities, survival, and causes of death in the general population with CKD and among patients with kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the United States. This is a very significant activity for DDT as CKD is a costly and disabling condition, often leading to premature death.

Level of Participation: The appointment is full time.
Participant Stipend: Stipend rates may vary based on numerous factors, including opportunity, location, education, and experience. If you are interviewed, you can inquire about the exact stipend rate at that time and if selected, your appointment offer will include the monthly stipend rate.
Citizenship Requirements: This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), and foreign nationals. Non-U.S. citizen applicants should refer to the Guidelines for Non-U.S. Citizens Details page of the program website for information about the valid immigration statuses that are acceptable for program participation.

Participants do not become employees of CDC, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program.
