CDC Office and Location: A fellowship opportunity is available with the Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division (CORVD) of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)is one of the major agencies and operations component 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. The mission of the NCIRD is the prevention of disease, disability, and death through immunization and by control of respiratory and related diseases. Read More about NCIRD and its Divisions at
Research Project: The CORVD strives to improve health by preventing illness, disability, and death from respiratory viruses. The fellow will collaborate with a team of health communicators to identify and implement effective communication and outreach strategies to inform the public of risks and prevention measures for respiratory virus infections.
The primary project involves collaborating with a communication team to evaluate the effectiveness of digital communication of health promotion and disease prevention messages, including analyzing data from web, social media, and traditional media to develop recommendations for future practice. The fellow also will have opportunities to enhance quantitative and qualitative reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, and team collaboration skills.
