• Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.

A research opportunity is currently available with the Division of Regulatory Science and Compliance (DRSC), within the Office of Readiness and Response (ORR) 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 protects 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.

CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats. To accomplish its mission, CDC conducts important science and provides health information that protects our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats, and responds when these arise.

The Division of Regulatory Science and Compliance works to ensure that important scientific research and related public health activities involving certain biological materials are conducted as safely and securely as possible. DRSC includes the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP), the Import Permit Program (IPP), and the U.S. National Authority for Containment of Polio virus (NAC). These programs support public health preparedness, laboratory biosafety and biosecurity, regulatory oversight, and risk reduction.

Under the guidance of a mentor, you will train with DRSC’s Biosafety, Science, Training, and Expertise Branch to engage in and learn from a project supporting training programs for new and experienced DRSC inspectors and auditors within FSAP, IPP, and NAC.

• Develop knowledge of biosafety and regulatory science by learning how scientific principles related to laboratory biosafety, biosecurity, and risk are incorporated into regulatory and oversight environments.
• Apply STEM knowledge to educational design by learning how complex scientific and technical information can be translated into measurable learning objectives, competency-based curricula, educational materials, and assessment strategies.
• Develop skills in instructional curriculum and design through application of adult-learning principles, instructional design frameworks, and evidence-informed approaches to science and technical education.
• Apply analytical methods to training evaluation data by learning approaches for organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating data related to learner outcomes and program efficacy.
• Develop experience with iterative program improvement by examining evaluation findings and learning how evidence can inform refinement of curriculum content, instructional approaches, and assessment methods.

By the end of the fellowship, you will have developed a stronger understanding of how STEM expertise, regulatory science, instructional design, and educational evaluation intersect in the development of…
