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: This project will collaborate across teams in the branch to provide an opportunity to learn about the needs of priority populations and settings before, during, and after public health emergencies. Under the guidance of a mentor, the ORISE fellow will train and collaborate on the preparation of evidence-based tools, resources, trainings, and communication and dissemination activities that are focused on behavioral science and health equity, as well as specific populations and settings (e.g., schools, correctional facilities, homeless shelters).
Learning Objectives: This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experiences which provide a direct impact to the nation’s public health preparedness. This includes an opportunity to learn more about other aspects of public health response and preparedness.
Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Allison Harrington (frt5@cdc.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s).
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: February 3, 2025. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.
Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of CDC and is contingent on the availability of funds.
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 only.
ORISE Information: This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and CDC.
