About this position
This CDC Prevention Research Fellowship places a trainee within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, on the CDC Chamblee Campus. The opportunity is hosted in the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, specifically within the Prevention and Health Determinants Team in the Division of Birth Defects and Infant Disorders, Infant Outcomes Monitoring, Research, and Prevention Branch.
The fellowship focuses on improving maternal and infant health outcomes by preventing birth defects and identifying health determinants linked to birth defects and adverse outcomes. The team’s work includes population-based assessment of preventable risk factors, translation of findings for prevention and intervention, evaluation of folic acid fortification and related prevention strategies, monitoring fortification policies, and communication about folic acid intake and safety. The trainee will be embedded in an environment that connects surveillance, prevention research, education, and public health practice.
Research and training activities may include systematic reviews, formative research, surveillance and prevention project design, use of statistical software, analysis and summarization of data, and development and evaluation of intervention and prevention strategies. The fellowship also emphasizes translating scientific findings into manuscripts, posters, fact sheets, and other dissemination products, along with oral and written presentations at meetings and scientific conferences.
The advertised mentors are Cara Mai and Denise Boggs, who can be contacted regarding the research. The position is described as a full-time research opportunity with an initial one-year appointment and possible renewal depending on CDC recommendation and available funds.
