Call for Application: CDC Evaluation Fellowship Programme

Application Deadline: January 14, 2025, 11:59 PM EST

The CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program is inviting applications for a two-year fellowship that works to make program evaluation more useful and impactful. The Evaluation Fellowship offers a unique training opportunity with clear expectations and supportive resources. This includes professional development funds provided by the host program. Fellows learn evaluation skills while working in their host program to build, expand, and/or improve evaluation activities.

CDC wants to make program evaluation a standard practice and to develop the professionals with the skills to do it. Fellows are placed in host programs at CDC to work on program evaluation, evaluation capacity, performance monitoring, and program design. This fellowship helps CDC continuously improve its work with the appropriate resources, tools, and leadership.

Eligibility

• Fellows with a doctoral or master’s degree
• Have U.S. citizenship or permanent resident with a green card valid for at least two years from the start of the Fellowship (mid-August).
• Have significant applied program evaluation experience and able to document three projects that demonstrate the depth and breadth of the evaluation experience.
• Have a doctoral or master’s level degree from an accredited academic institution in a field relevant to CDC’s work. Examples of degree concentration include public health, epidemiology, sociology, anthropology, biostatistics, and community psychology.

To become a fellow, if accepted, the applicant must:

• Meet CDC/ATSDR requirements for general employment suitability (e.g., favorable background security check for U.S. Government employment).
