HHS Office and Location: An appointment is available with the Community Strategies Division (CSD) in the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) within Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)/ Office of the Secretary (OS) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in Rockville, MD.
OASH provides leadership to the nation on public health and science matters, and communicates on these subjects to the American people. For additional information, please visit: http://www.hhs.gov/ash/.
The mission of ODPHP is to promote health equity through opportunities for all to lead healthy, active lives. To carry out its mission ODPHP establishes national health priorities, translates science into policy, guidance, and tools; provides clear and actionable health information for informed decision-making; and cultivates partnerships that support public health programs and services.
CSD leads the development and implementation of the Healthy People 2030 initiative, the nation’s 10-year health objectives for the decade. Established in 1979, Healthy People provides science-based objectives with targets for improving the health of the nation. These objectives serve as a catalyst mobilizing action in public health policy, research, programs, and communication across the country and globally.
Research Project: ODPHP seeks a fellow with training in health policy and public health to play a major role in the implementation of the Healthy People initiative. HHS launched the fifth and current iteration of the initiative, Healthy People 2030, in August 2020, followed later by the release of two additional elements of Healthy People 2030, the Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) and the Overall Health and Well-being Measures (OHMs). The fellow will assist on all aspects of Healthy People, including management and implementation of the objectives, LHIs and OHMs. In collaboration with CSD, learning opportunities for the fellow may include:
Learning Objectives: Participants will learn best practices in the dynamic, fast-paced field of public health that guide organizations and communities in establishing disease prevention and health promotion policies and programs and help them replicate best practices in their own settings. This fellowship program provides leadership and management experience in health policy and interconnected fields of public health, disease prevention, and health promotion.
Fellows will participate in federal-level meetings and have an opportunity to interact with leading subject matter experts, including those focused on disease prevention, public health, and health statistics. Fellows will receive opportunities for professional training, gain first-hand knowledge of how policy is formulated, and contribute to initiatives of national importance.
Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Carter Blakey (Carter.Blakey@hhs.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s).
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: April 2023. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.
Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for one year, but may be renewed upon recommendation of HHS and is contingent on the availability of funds.
Level of Participation: The appointment is full-time at ODPHP in Rockville, MD. However, as the United States recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, the participant may be required to carry out the fellowship/internship remotely for either all or part of the fellowship period.
Participant Stipend: The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience.
Citizenship Requirements: This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only.
ORISE Information: This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and HHS. Participants do not become employees of HHS, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program.
