About this position

This ORISE opportunity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places a participant in the Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch of the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Atlanta, Georgia.

The project focuses on CDC’s suite of online GIS and mapping tools for chronic disease surveillance, including the Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke, Local Trends Dashboard, Map Widget, Quick Maps, Map Gallery, and Rate Stabilizing Tools. Under mentor guidance, the participant will learn how these tools support spatial and epidemiological analyses of heart disease, stroke, and related risk factors at county and census-tract levels.

The experience emphasizes applied geospatial work, including data integration across multiple public health sources, development of case-study analyses using layered spatial datasets, and use of GIS methods to examine community health characteristics and geographic patterns related to chronic disease. The participant will also explore how mapping products and surveillance outputs are evaluated, visualized, and communicated for diverse public health audiences.

The opportunity includes exposure to how state and local health departments, CDC-funded recipients, Tribal Epidemiology Centers, health systems, community organizations, and academic institutions use GIS tools and surveillance information to support chronic disease prevention and public health planning. The participant will also gain experience in literature review, quality control for data visualizations, and scientific information management related to public health communication materials.

Overall, this is a research and training opportunity centered on geospatial epidemiology, public health data visualization, and communication of chronic disease surveillance findings.

Funding details

Full-time ORISE appointment with a participant stipend; stipend rate varies by opportunity, location, education, and experience, and the appointment is contingent on the availability of funds.
