A research opportunity is currently available with the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP), within the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Through its programs and initiatives, DVP works with national organizations, state and local health agencies, and other partners to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate effective violence prevention strategies. This research opportunity is in the Prevention Practice and Translation (PPTB) Branch in DVP on the Program Evaluation and Translation (PET) team.
The PET Team started in 2015 to support DVP’s program evaluation function, as well as translation of evaluation findings for program improvement and public health action. Our team works across the branch to serve several violence prevention programs, across the division with the research and surveillance branches and Communications Team, as well as with the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). In addition to evaluation and translation, the PET Team oversees an online data system for reporting and program monitoring across the funded program initiatives in the branch.
One major function the team is growing is the dissemination and use of evaluation findings in practice settings, sometimes referred to as knowledge translation. The team is seeking an individual interested in gaining knowledge translation and program evaluation experience. The selected participant will have the unique opportunity to learn from program, evaluation and health communications staff about knowledge translation and implementation science within the CDC environment and in the wider field of Violence Prevention. Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will have the opportunity to gain experience with both the development of content and the translation of that content into effective communication and technical assistance materials, as well as evaluating dissemination efforts. In addition to collaborating closely with their primary mentor, the participant will interact with subject matter experts and communications team members across the Division. The participant will receive training on the analysis and visualization of evaluation results for multiple violence topics to include sexual violence, intimate partner violence, child maltreatment and youth violence. The participant also will receive training and experience on the development and use of various knowledge translation and implementation materials including website content, social media, reports, evaluation briefs, and plain language summaries. The participant will collaborate closely with other units in the division and center to promote cross-unit collaboration and information sharing.
In addition to the training and experience described above, the participant also will collaborate closely with the primary mentor and other subject matter experts to gain experience in developing and implementing evaluations of translation and dissemination activities. This may include contributing to the development of evaluation protocol, collecting data, speaking with the intended users of translation materials, and integrating evaluation results into recommendations for future translation products.
Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will learn about best practices related to knowledge translation and development of products using health communications best practice principles. This includes learning about effective engagement with stakeholders and the daily challenges involved in knowledge translation and health communication. The participant will be directly involved in discussions with DVP subject matter experts and programmatic staff about translation needs and challenges. They will gain valuable experience in knowledge translation – the space where science and communications converge.
The participant will be engaged in range of activities, such as:
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.
The qualified candidate should have received a master's or doctoral degree in one of the relevant fields. Degree must have been received within five years of the appointment start date.
