A research opportunity is currently available with the Office of Science and Public Health Practice (OSPHP) in the Center for Preparedness and Response (CPR) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Center for Preparedness Response (CPR) supports the infusion of science into CDC’s public health emergency preparedness and response activities. CPR’s Office of Science and Public Health Practice is committed to increasing scientific contributions to the preparedness and response knowledge base as well as promoting the translation of science to practice. Previous emergencies have shown that certain groups of people face disproportionate risks during and after public health emergencies. At-risk and vulnerable populations are groups of people who may not be able to access and use the standard resources offered in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The selected participant will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Office of Science in understanding and advocating for the needs of at-risk/vulnerable populations in an emergency. This will include reviewing and/or contributing to presentations and papers, synthesizing research and collaborating on preparedness research projects. The participant will also have opportunities to prepare and deliver written and oral briefings on the results of such research and analysis. The Senior Advisor for At-Risk Populations will mentor the participant.

Under the guidance of the mentor, the participant will be involved in these additional learning opportunities:

Learning about issues relevant to current and emerging science in public health preparedness and response topics in order to conduct research, analysis, translation or evaluation

Learning about issues related to at-risk/vulnerable populations and emergencies

Developing and strengthening research and synthesis skills
Conveying results of synthesis and analysis as part of internal and external correspondence, reports, manuscripts, presentations, talking points, and other materials

Contributing to the creation and modification of a range of health education and communication materials (such as guidance documents, toolkits, fact sheets, webpages)

This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and CDC. The initial appointment can be up to one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of CDC contingent on the availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program. The appointment is full-time at CDC in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. Participants do not become employees of CDC, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits.
