*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.
A fellowship opportunity is currently available in the Policy Research, Analysis, and Development Office (PRADO), within the Office of the Associate Director for Policy & Strategy at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. PRADO assesses, develops, and translates evidence showing the health and economic impact of policy through analyses of high priority interventions to inform decision makers and public health practitioners.

Under the guidance of the PRADO mentor, CDC disease subject matter experts, and ACHA data specialists, the participant will be involved in these additional learning opportunities:
Designing project proposals and data analysis plans
Creating, updating, analyzing and managing large data sets
Contributing to the analysis of data from CCHN
