CDC Clinical Research, Epidemiology, and Outreach Fellowship

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Joining the Clinical Research, Epidemiology, and Outreach (CREO) team at CVDB, the selected participant will provide epidemiological and statistical and/or data application support for the research in ME/CFS or Long COVID ME/CFS-like illness.

*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.

CDC Office and Location: A fellowship opportunity is currently available in the Chronic Viral Diseases Branch (CVDB) within the Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology (DHCPP) of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the major operation components of the Department of Health and Human Services. CDC works to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or preventable, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same.

CVDB’s mission is to control and prevent diseases associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and medically unexplained fatiguing illnesses (e.g., Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID ME/CFS-like illness) in collaboration with community, state, national and international partners.

Research Project: Joining the Clinical Research, Epidemiology, and Outreach (CREO) team at CVDB, the selected participant will provide epidemiological and statistical and/or data application support for the research in ME/CFS or Long COVID ME/CFS-like illness.

Learning Objectives: Under the guidance of a mentor, learning opportunities may include:

Co-designing and implementing computational modeling applications to clinical epidemiologic data
Supporting CVDB members with IRB and OMB submissions
Helping efforts in analytical studies and using results to adapt clinical epidemiology and public health related programs
Preparing scientific articles and reports for publication and conference presentation
Participating in CDC research activities and special investigations related to ME/CFS
Co-presenting results and findings to other scientists and public health researchers within and outside CDC
