CDC Survey Evaluation Fellowship

Category : Alumni

Description
*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.

An opportunity is currently available with the Behavioral and Clinical Surveillance Branch of the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), within the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

This fellowship offers the opportunity to gain exposure to a high-priority, high-impact project focusing on domestic HIV surveillance. With 23 participating health department jurisdictions throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) provides crucial data on clinical and behavioral characteristics from the only nationally representative sample of persons living with HIV. MMP data are used to monitor issues affecting people living with HIV, which include topics such as describing racial disparities in viral load suppression and exploring the prevalence of depression and its effect on adherence to HIV medications. MMP collects data through personal interview and matched medical record abstraction. This fellowship will provide training opportunities related to survey design, survey implementation, and survey evaluation.

Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will have the opportunity to develop the following abilities:

Writing and reviewing skills to contribute to the development of guidance documents and protocols
Qualitative methods to code and analyze data
Survey design and evaluation techniques to evaluate and improve survey implementation
Presenting and writing skills to disseminate products such as training materials, scientific posters and presentations, or manuscripts
Project management skills and techniques to evaluate survey implementation
Collaboration skills to communicate effectively with external and internal stakeholders
