An opportunity is available at Extramural Research Program Office (ERPO), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The research fellow will assist with systematic program assessments in ERPO.  These assessments help to determine the value and impact of funded research for improved public health programs and strategies for injury prevention and control.  The research fellow will also train with ERPO health scientists in assessing program activities related to either development, peer review, or management of extramural research programs. The Fellow will receive training to assist health scientist(s) with research program evaluation activities which include:

• Identifying and accessing resource documents, assisting with evaluation plans, questions, and indicators, collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data, and interpreting data to assess the value and impact of research outcomes for improving public health programs for injury prevention and control.
• Collecting, analyzing, and interpreting quantitative and qualitative response data to facilitate extramural research program improvements. 
• Developing and disseminating reports and presentations on program evaluation findings.
• Implementing program activities related to the development, peer review, and management of extramural research.
