The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks applicants for the 2018 class of the CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program. This is the 8th year of this initiative, and represents a major commitment by CDC to program evaluation and program improvement. Fellows work under the leadership of CDC's Chief Evaluation Officer; they will be matched with CDC host programs in Atlanta, Georgia to work on program evaluation activities for/with those programs.
About the Fellowship
The CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program aims to expand the capacity of CDC programs to conduct evaluation and increase its usefulness and impact.
The Evaluation Fellowship Program signifies CDC’s dual commitment to making program evaluation a standard part of practice and to developing a cadre of professionals with the skills to make that happen. With the CDC Evaluation Fellowship, programs will have the resources, tools, and leadership to continuously improve their work.
Started in 2011 with an initial class of 5 Fellows, the Fellowship has about 15-20 Fellows each year.
Though the Fellowship has grown dramatically in just a few years, the Fellowship remains highly competitive, with only about 10% of applicants being selected for the Evaluation Fellowship Program.
The Fellowship is intended to be a two-year program, with the second year contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of funds.
About the CDC Evaluation Fellows
Fellows are PhD or master’s degree professionals with backgrounds in evaluation, behavioral and social sciences, public health, and other disciplines relevant to CDC’s work. Successful applicants also typically have significant experience in applied evaluation projects.
Fellows are based in Atlanta working within one of CDC’s programs.
Fellows receive a monthly stipend depending on education level and experience.
Unlike many fellowships, CDC Evaluation Fellows receive substantial financial support for their training and professional development, and a supplement to offset health insurance costs.
Applying for the Fellowship
Applicants for the Fellowship go through an extensive selection process, including interviews with potential host programs, culminating in CDC host programs and Fellows matched based on mutual interest.
Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to apply. For more information, see the ORISE Guidelines for Non-U.S. Citizens.
The deadline for applying to the CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program is April 13, 2018 at 1:00 pm Eastern Time.
References must be uploaded by April 25, 2018 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time.
There are approximately 15 fellowship slots available for the 2018 class.
