Description

A fellowship opportunity is available to support 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.  The Fellow will be trained on division policy, partnership and communication activities as they relate to violence prevention on DVP’s Policy and Partnerships Team (PPT).  This team provides policy and partnership leadership to promote DVP public health violence prevention intervention strategies to maximize violence prevention programmatic efforts through synthesizing, translating, and applying policy, partnership and communication principles targeted to specific audiences including partners and policy makers. 

The fellow will be trained on general policy, partnership, and communication activities within DVP.  These activities may include:

• Partnership Strategy

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how the Division of Violence Prevention Policy & Partnership Team develops and implements a partnership strategy for building relationships with both governmental and non-governmental partners specific to our two current center priorities: suicide and violence against children and youth.  The fellow will learn how to plan meetings, and both respond to and disseminate strategies to our partners.

• Outreach Plan

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how to develop and implement a communications and partnership outreach plan to extend and enhance continued reach of the division’s technical packages, as well as monitor uptake and impact. The fellow will be trained on how to develop 1-page fact sheets for specific partners to include evidence-based strategies and interventions pulled from the technical packages.

• Foundation Strategy

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how the Division of Violence Prevention has built a long standing relationship with the CDC Foundation.   The Fellow will be trained on how to prepare a creative cutting-edge proposal for projects to expand the divisions work in both suicide prevention and prevention of violence against children and youth.

• Public Inquiries

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how the Division of Violence Prevention Policy & Partnership Team receives and responds to approximately 600 inquiries each year.  The Fellow will be trained on how to triage, respond to, and catalog inquiries.

• Partnerships Communications

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how to plan and prepare division products and publications notifications for partners, including communication plans, messages, and partner announcements.

• Team Organization

The fellow will benefit from being trained on how to contribute to keeping a team running smoothly via meeting planning, relationship building, and taking advantage of attending seminars and brown bags, and how to organize team resources.
