About this position
This ORISE fellowship is hosted within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically in the Office of the Director of CDC’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED) in Atlanta, Georgia. The project is centered on strategic partner engagement for infectious disease prevention, giving the fellow hands-on experience supporting how CDC works with internal teams and external partners to advance public health priorities.
Working under the guidance of mentor Lyn Nguyen, the fellow will build experience in public health partnership evaluation, science communication, strategic planning, qualitative analysis, performance measurement, and evidence-informed decision making. The opportunity includes exposure to partner meetings, briefings, site visits, and jointly hosted events, along with learning how briefing materials are developed for CDC leadership and subject matter experts.
The research and training environment emphasizes how public health organizations map partner interests to program priorities, conduct environmental scans, use performance metrics, and evaluate partnership activities. The fellow will also gain practical experience translating scientific and program information into formats such as fact sheets, publications, web content, and program stories for diverse audiences.
The opportunity is closely tied to CDC’s work in foodborne, waterborne, parasitic, and environmental diseases, with a strong focus on collaboration, communication, and the evaluation of partnership approaches in a public health setting.
